"Jamie [Auchincloss] also noticed Jack’s deep tan (as much a result of his Addison’s disease as of exposure to the sun) and “the odd color of his hair." Or rather, colors. 'Once I counted fifteen distinctly different colors in his hair, ranging from silver to orange. Later I learned that was another symptom of Addison’s disease.'” - Christopher Andersen

Updating this to add the letter!

Letter was written circa February 1963, addressed to Robert Graham, of the James Graham & Sons art gallery, where Jackie is asking about a bunch of paintings she wants to buy for JFK's birthday.

"May 29th is my husband’s birthday when I will give them to him, so just try and imagine his delight that day. He will probably hang them in his office where I will never see them! But later on in our own house they will be in the room I love most."

Teddy, Bobby, and Pat talk to campaign aide Larry O'Brien on Election Day 1960, as they watch election results.

"Even though the election was close--a cliffhanger in every sense of the word--I had always believed that Jack was going to win, even when the odds were something like nine to five against him. I suppose I believed that Jack could do anything he wanted." - Ted Kennedy
