Letter from Eleanor Roosevelt to Lawrence Fuchs Regarding Meeting John F. Kennedy

This letter from Eleanor Roosevelt to Lawrence Fuchs, Brandeis University professor and adviser to John F. Kennedy, expresses her lukewarm interest in meeting with then-Senator Kennedy in 1958. Initially not a fan, she changed her mind over time, ultimately writing to a friend during his Presidential campaign, “I think I am not mistaken in feeling that he would make a good President if elected.”
