Three sheets of detailed instructions and two sheets of original sketches, handwritten and drawn by Jaqueline Kennedy. They measure 8 x 5."

Notes and sketches were addressed to Mary Gallagher, on White House stationery, in regards to a 10th wedding anniversary gift for President John F. Kennedy. Also included is a personal congratulatory note written by Mary Gallagher to Jacqueline Kennedy. This note is referred to in Mary Gallagher's book "My Life with Jacqueline Kennedy," and demonstrates the relationship between the two women.

The two original sketches, in pencil and ink, display Jackie Kennedy's design motif for a money clip to be made and given to Jack to commemorate their anniversary on September 12, 1963. Mrs. Kennedy designed a money clip featuring St.Christopher, the patron saint of travelers, on the front and an engraved message on the reverse which was read " For Jack September 12, 1963, with love J."

The accompanying instructions exhibit Jaqueline Kennedy's intentions in having the design executed: "The large Christopher medal is the right size- but isn't very pretty./ See if Tiffany or Cartier (get Nancy to do this) have a nice gold one the size of a 50cent piece. If they could get it up to me this weekend, I will have Ernst mount it- just as he did the others for me. And attached is engraving sample. If they have nothing, then Ernst can take his large medal & mount it like Daddy's money clip."

Nancy is Nacy Tuckerman, Social Secretary to the First Lady; and Ernst was Charles Ernst Jewelers in Washington D.C. Mrs. Kennedy further refines the design and writes in the second note " Mary, Here is the St.Christopher medal I chose from Cartier. Will you get Charles Ernst to take the loop off the top & mount it as it was shown on the sketch-with a gold band rather (than) the way he did the other one. /And engrave it also- just send him the sketch. Tell him it doesn't have to be as strong as a real money clip would-as JFK just carries it clipped to his wallet. He must have it ready by Thursday. JFK will be coming to Newport then. Will you have him gift wrap it. Then you give it to JFK's Secret Service man...and tell him to hand it to me personally. Many thanks, J."

Mrs. Kennedy had this money clip made to replace the one that the President placed in the coffin of their son Patrick, who died soon after birth, and who was buried just four weeks before their 10th anniversary. The earlier St. Christopher money clip had also been a wedding present from Mrs. Kennedy to John F. Kennedy. The President was carrying this clip on the day he was assassinated in Dallas. It was eventually returned to his children and presented to the Kennedy Library. The St. Christopher motif was commonly used in the Kennedy household and is meant to bring safety and good wishes to travelers.
