WASHINGTON NOVEMBER 26, 1963
DEAR MRS. KENNEDY:
THE TRAGIC DEATH OF THE PRESIDENT HAS LEFT MY ASSOCIATES AND ME WITH AN INDESCRIBABLE VOID.
WE SHALL CARRY ON OUR RESPONSIBILITIES, OF COURSE, BUT WITH HEAVY HEARTS, AWARE AS WE ARE OF THE IRREPLACEABLE LOSS SUFFERED BY YOU, CAROLINE AND JOHN, AND THE NATION...
WE SHALL ALWAYS BE AT YOUR SERVICE.
MOST SINCERELY,
JAMES J. ROWLEY
