...reception. "It is just one of his favorites," wrote Jackie. "He also loves Henry V (and he reminds me of him, though I don't think he knows that!)." Manhattan Autograph Dealer Charles Hamilton, who was also offering other items, including some letters and mementos of Lee Harvey Oswald, refused to withdraw Jackie's letters despite complaints from Mrs. Kennedy's press secretary...
