This listing is for an INCREDIBLY RARE ORIGINAL typed letter on United States Senate letterhead, dated January 10, 1967, and signed beautifully at the conclusion by former Senator from Texas, Ralph W. Yarborough, now deceased.
THE LETTER HAS GREAT CONTENT IN WHICH YARBOROUGH SPEAKS TO THE ORIGINAL RECIPIENT ABOUT HIS DESIRE FOR A RE-INVESTIGATION INTO THE JFK ASSASSINATION!
Ralph Webster Yarborough (June 8, 1903 - January 27, 1996) served in the United States Senate from 1957 until 1971.
On November 22, 1963 President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in downtown Dallas, Texas as his motorcade passed by the Texas School Book Depository building, from a 6th floor window, by Lee Harvey Oswald, an employee of the building.
Ralph Yarborough DID NOT get along with then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson at all. President John F. Kennedy made Yarborough and LBJ ride together in the fateful Dallas motorcade on November 22, 1963, despite their hate for each other. He rode in a convertible with Vice President Johnson, Lady Bird Johnson (who sat between Yarborough and Johnson), United States Secret Service agent Rufus Youngblood, and Hurchel Jacks of the Texas State Highway Patrol.
The convertible was only 2 cars behind Kennedy's limousine when the assassination took place.
I HAVE ATTACHED TO THE LISTING, FOR REFERENCE ONLY, AN IMAGE SHOWING YARBOROUGH (RED ARROW) AND LBJ DURING THE FATEFUL DALLAS MOTORCADE AS WELL AS AN IMAGE OF A TEARFUL YARBOROUGH AT PARKLAND MEMORIAL HOSPITAL FOLLOWING THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY'S DEATH.
