No Binding. Condition: Very Good. KENNEDY, Jacqueline. Fantastic Content from the Recuperating Jacqueline Kennedy at Georgetown University Hospital, December 1960. "Please don't forward more any questions. I just can't cope with them now. Tell press I will cooperate fully with them once I am there but I need this time for myself." Jacqueline Kennedy, from this note. Typed letter (5 December 1960) 11"x8.5" to Jacqueline Kennedy from her assistant, Gladys Uhl, with a 92-word answer on the same sheet in Ms. Kennedy's hand at bottom, and signed "Jackie". Ms. Kennedy is writing from the hospital, still recovering from the difficult birth of John F. Kennedy jr. [It is noted in one of the teletypes--dated 30 November also offered with this letter that states she would be leaving Georgetown University hospital in about "10 days".) Offered with 3 tearshects from teletypes for 29, 29, 30 November, pertaining to the new Kennedy baby and to Mrs. Kennedy's condition. Condition: VG condition, with two old horizontal folds and a couple of very light old vertical fold impressions. There is also a tiny 3mm tear along the bottom left horizontal fold. This is the period following John Kennedy's election (3 November) and the birth of their son John Kennedy Jr. (25 November, 1960). Mrs. Kennedy was in Georgetown University Hospital from (at least) 25 Nov to her release on either 9 or 10 December following a difficulty a Cesarean delivery: the family left for Florida that day. Mrs. Uhl reiterates that one of Mrs. Kennedy's doctors obstetrician Dr. John W. Walsh-wants her to rest. (As we can see in the accompanying teletype dated 29 November Dr. Walsh hadn't decided if he would "permit her to attend the gala inaugural ball". In the same teletype president-elect Kennedy said that "she's fine. It just takes awhile" [for recuperation]. Mrs. Uhl runs interference for Mrs. Kennedy, shielding her from inquiries and requests from correspondents and reporters for interviews and to respond to submitted questions. She does need to be clear that Mrs. Kennedy wants no interference from the media. To Mrs. Uhl's letter Mrs. Kennedy sends her handwritten responses at the bottom of the letter. Mrs. Kennedy's response: "Can't do any interviews before I get to Florida--or before I am in White House. None will be done in Florida. Please don't forward more any questions. I just can't cope with them now Tell press I will cooperate fully with them once I am there-but I need this time for myself. Just say that very nicely to each person-as I am no doing ANYTHING till after Jan 20. [And in response to a query about possible clashes between her inaugural gown and Lady Bird Johnson: "My Inaug gown will be White-so I'm sure that anything Mrs. Johnson (wears?) will go with it. Thanks Gladys. Don't get too tired. Jackie".…
