“#JFK’s letters to secret lover up for auction<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

An indecent bit of history is up for sale.<\/p>\n

One full and two partial letters written by President John F. Kennedy to his Swedish mistress, aristocrat Gunilla von Post, are currently up for bidding at a Boston-based auction house<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a wonderful time last summer with you. It is a bright memory of my life \u2014 you are wonderful and I miss you,\u201d reads one of JFK\u2019s letters \u2014 all of which are written on official United States Senate paper \u2014 postmarked February 1956 and addressed to von Post. \u201cIf you don\u2019t marry come over as I should like to see you.\u201d<\/p>\n

JFK hand-wrote the intimate letters to von Post after meeting her in the French Riviera in the summer of 1953, when he was a Massachusetts U.S. Senator and engaged to Jacqueline Bouvier. Despite the danger the pair\u2019s affair posed for both their reputations, Post wrote in her 1997 memoir \u201cLove, Jack<\/a>\u201d that they maintained it for years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am anxious to see you,\u201d Kennedy wrote in one of the partial letters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The lovers saw each other for the last time by accident in 1958 at a gala. They\u2019d stopped writing each other in 1956 when Kennedy asked von Post to see him, but she\u2019d already broken off contact after becoming engaged.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 and von Post died in 2011.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the only Kennedy letter that we have offered that displays open affection to another woman while he was married,\u201d a representative for the auction house told SWNS. \u201cThis offered group of letters was found among her possessions after her death in 2011 and originates from her estate.\u201d<\/p>\n

The auction ends May 12.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two of the letters include their original hand-addressed United States Senate envelopes, SWNS reported. The JFK letters are part of a larger artifact and autograph sale at the auction house which includes a 1935 portrait of JFK, a three-page handwritten draft of the speech in which he announced his intention to run for president and a signed photograph of John and Robert Kennedy as President and Attorney General<\/a>.<\/p>\n
