Incredibly controversial letter by stripper Blaze Starr about John F. Kennedy. Starr - real name, Fannie Belle Fleming - was a noted burlesque performer and stripper, and this handwritten letter details her liaison with JFK, stating that the two had fulfilled her "... fantasy with the Lincoln bedroom," and related her account of seeing what she was certain was Abe's ghost. Brilliant blue ballpoint writing on lined 8.5x11" paper includes Starr's sketch of herself on top left, a rose on top right, and lipstick "kiss" to sign off at the bottom. Amazing piece of US Presidential history.
