Kennedy Jacqueline
Jackie Kennedy Attends the Ballet and Draws a Heart
1p ALS inscribed overall and signed by former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy (1929-1994) as "XXXX / Jackie" at bottom right. Undated, but presumably written in New York City. Inscribed in red ball-point pen on yellow, blue-lined note paper. A few wrinkles, else near fine. 4.875" x 7.25".
Jackie Kennedy almost certainly left this note behind in her 1040 Fifth Avenue apartment for visiting friend Rosamund Lee. In full, with unchanged spelling and grammar:
"Dear Rozzie
WELCOME!
?
I'll be back at 4:30 Just ask Marie for anything you want + we'll have a snack here at 6:30 before ballet -
I cant wait to see you!!
XXXX
Jackie."
Jackie had taken classical ballet lessons at the old Metropolitan Opera House in Manhattan as a child, and enjoyed the ballet throughout her adult life. She became a prominent patron of the arts and letters as First Lady, regularly hosting musical, dance, and literary events at the White House.
The former First Lady served on the Board of Trustees of the American Ballet Theater at Lincoln Center for over 25 years, and was acting honorary chairman of the organization at her death in 1994. In 2004, the ABT renamed its teaching arm the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School in recognition of her love of and dedication to the ballet company.
Jackie and her house guest Rosamund had enjoyed a lifelong friendship. The two girls had befriended each other in the early 1940s. Of a similar age, Jackie and Rosamund had extended family connections, and both had lived in Long Island. Jackie's stepfather Hugh D. Auchincloss's cousin Charles C. Auchincloss was Rozzie's maternal grandfather; thus Hugh was Rozzie's first cousin twice removed. (Rosamund was the daughter of Rosamund Plowden-Wardlow and James Burton Lee, Jr., who married in 1929.) This branch of the wealthy Auchincloss family summered at "Builtover," their estate in Roslyn, Long Island, approximately 70 miles to the east of Jackie's birthplace, Southampton, Long Island.
