An important Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy on a TLS, April 2003 United States Senate letterhead to a lobbyist who is getting a Marshall University Alumni award.
Content includes "I want to take this opportunity to tell you once again how much I appreciate the work you did for me and for my brothers during our campaigns for the presidency.  In 1960, West Virginia was a milestone and your help was part of that victory.  I know that Jack and Bobby deeply valued your loyalty and your friendship.  In fact, as I think about all the campaigns with which you have been associated, which started with President Kennedy and extended to President Clinton, I realize that we couldn't have a presidential election campaign without you!"
Unfolded.  Couple of small bends, but these are mentioned for extreme accuracy.
