Fantastic hand-addressed and free franked mailing envelope, 8.5 x 4, signed in the return address area, "Lt. J. F. Kennedy, PT Shakedown, S.C.T.C., Miami, Fla.," addressed in Kennedy's hand to "Ens. R. R. Flood, 125 Church St., Newport, R.I.," and marked "Free" in the upper right. Postmarked at Miami, March 27, 1944. In very good to fine condition, with light handling wear, opening tears along the right edge, and a long central diagonal crease. Contained within this envelope was a notable letter from Kennedy, who was recuperating after PT-109 had been destroyed just eight months earlier, to Richard R. Flood, who had been his brother Joe Kennedy's roommate at Harvard; a photocopy of the letter is included. Like Kennedy, Flood served in the Navy during World War II, rising to lieutenant. An important early autograph from the future president.Format: Envelope
