ONASSIS, Jacqueline Kennedy. – Sarah BRADFORD. America’s Queen, the Life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. London: Viking Publishing, 2000. First edition, fifth impression, with a 15-line hand-written mourning card by Jackie Kennedy to Mr. and Mrs. Goddard Lieberson, 8vo (233 x 148mm.) Photographic illustrations. (Mild toning.) Original black cloth, dust-jacket (minor marks to upper panel). Note: the card reads: ‘Dear Goddard and Brigitta [Vera Zorina], I just can’t get over your Christmas presents – 10 Secret Service men had to carry your box of records upstairs -They were really chosen with an eye for this family!! And how we will adore every one of them – John [John Kennedy Jnr] picked Solo Monk to play the first- which is the most terrible one – J. took Horowitz – Scarlatti to my room – and Caroline has taken Daphnis & Chloe to hers- and there are so many more- and the little note-book- I have been searching for something like that all winter- I hope someone gave you things you love as much, love Jackie’. Goddard Lieberson was the head of CBS Records and a good friend to Jackie. In 1965, Jackie was mourning the death of her husband, John, following his assassination in November, 1963. The mention of the Secret Service is a reflection of the ongoing fear that Jackie would have for her own safety, and that of her children. Provenance: from the estate of the late David Sadler.
