Description
Wow! This is an amazing piece of history. Check out the letter signed with black pen (not stamped). It dates October 6, 1969 addressed to a Carl and Marilynn Smith "This is just a brief note to tell you how grateful I am for all the helpthis
summer. Your response -- in time of sadness and need -- means more thank I can ever say. With my most sincere thanks." Sincerely, Ted Kennedy.
Its no coincidence that he is most likely referring to the
Chappaquiddick incident that happened three months earlier
and was a single-vehicle car accident that occurred on Chappaquiddick Island, Massachusetts, on Friday, July 18, 1969. The late night accident was caused by Senator Ted Kennedy's negligence, and resulted in the death of his 28-year-old passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne, who was trapped inside the vehicle. It can be said that Ted’s wife Joan blamed her third miscarriage on the Chappaquiddick incident.
