Grant's at $55, Franklin D. Roosevelt's at $75, Teddy Roosevelt’s at $67.50, and JFK’s at $75. <In the comment> is the response mailed to Lyons

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
October 11, 1961
Dear Leonard:
I appreciate your letter about the market on Kennedy signatures. It is hard to believe that the going price is so high now. In order not to depress the market any further, I will not sign this letter.
Best Regards,
