BOSTON — An intimate letter written by President John F. Kennedy to a purported paramour seeking to set up a liaison is one of several Kennedy-related items being sold at auction. It originated from the estate of Robert White, a friend of Lincoln’s and an avid collector of JFK memorabilia who died more than a decade ago. The letter was never sent but remained in the collection of Kennedy’s longtime personal secretary, Evelyn Lincoln. “We’ve handled a lot of JFK letters here, and he was always very formal.”RelatedThe undated letter looks to be written on White House stationery. The letter is expected to fetch about $30,000 in the weeklong online auction that starts June 16, Livingston said.
