GUEST: This is a letter from Jackie Kennedy that was sent to the Men's Democratic League of Newport, because she was in Newport, and had, unfortunately, a stillborn child at Newport Hospital, and the Men's Democratic League sent her a bouquet of flowers. And this is the thank-you note that she sent to them. And my grandfather, at the time, was the president of the Men's Democratic League, and this was 1956. So he kept the letter, gave it to my mother, and said, "Keep this letter, because he's going to be president, and she'll be first lady."
APPRAISER: Wow. And it came true. Wow, very prescient.
GUEST: Yeah.
APPRAISER: You know, it's interesting, because there are a lot of ties from Newport and the Kennedys. They were married here, 1953.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, actually, Hammersmith Farm, so there's a very strong Newport connection.
GUEST: Yeah.
APPRAISER: It's just a lovely little note, basically, "Thank you for the roses." On the back here, it is nicely signed. It said, "It meant a great deal to me," so... Elegant note from a very elegant lady. At auction, I would expect this to bring around $1,500.
GUEST: Wow. Very good.
