Kennedy, Robert F. Typed Letter Signed ("Bob"). One page, octavo, Washington D.C., September 2, 1964. On Attorney General stationery with integral blank. To Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg. Accompanied by carbon copy of Goldberg's September 28 reply. One mailing fold, small staple holes and minor wrinkling at upper left. Otherwise condition is fine to very fine.
This letter speaks to so many issues: the hold the Kennedys have on America's consciousness, the contributions of Robert and John Kennedy to the Civil Rights movement and the relationship between both Kennedys and the Supreme Court. The Senator writes: "On my last day as Attorney General, I want to thank you for all that you did for President Kennedy. When we look back four years and see how much was needed to be done, and now how much has been accomplished, you can take great satisfaction in having made an important contribution to the country in a time of maximum need. President Kennedy would have wished to thank you for that-- and for your loyalty. I am proud to have served with you--and I am grateful for your friendship. With kind regards, Sincerely, Bob."
