Gandhi, Mohandas Karamchand. "Mahatma Gandhi" (1869-1948). A noble icon and humble giant of the 20th century, often called the "Father of the Nation" in India, Gandhi was the foremost leader of the nationalist movement during the British Raj and led India to independence; In 1893, he arrived in South Africa to practice law, and went on to spend 20 years there working to fight discrimination; in the course of which he created his concept of satyagraha -- a non-violent means to protest injustice; his vision and humanity has inspired civil rights and freedom movements throughout the world; Gandhi received the honorary title of Mahatma ("Great Soul") in his first year back in India (Nobel-Prize winning poet Rabindranath Tangore is credited with bestowing the epithet and publicizing it). Autograph Document Signed "Mohandas K. Gandhi". Receipt, 8 ¼ x 3 7/8", Wardha (Maharashtra State, India), 20 July 1942. Gandhi signs in black ink below on signature line acknowledging the receipt of US $50 from Lloyd's Bank Ltd., Bombay via telegraphic transfer made by Manufacturers Trust Co., NY.

Kennedy, John F., Jr. (1960-1999). "John John"-- Son of President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy, American socialite and magazine publisher. Autograph Book Signed "John Kennedy Jr 1969" in black ink. An Ex-Libris St. Francis Xavier Library of Brooklyn copy of the The News' "The Torch is Passed - Associated Press Story of The Death of A President", with a typewritten copy of the famous "Special Delivery From Heaven" poem by Barbara Jones taped down to the back inside cover. Beneath is the inscription in black ink: "As the Sun may / Shine, I will Always / Remember you Dad / John Kennedy Jr / 1969". The typewritten poem here differs slightly from the published version of the poem - ampersand and "I'll" instead of "I look down and smile…" Barbara Jones, a 15-year-old high school sophomore in Yonkers, NY, wrote the poem in honor of JFK soon after his assassination, it was picked up and reprinted in newspapers across the U.S. and reproduced as plaques and numerous other tributes. The signature, which would have been penned when John F. Kennedy, Jr. was nine, differs from other observed signatures, but all of those differ from each other, as JFK, Jr. frequently varied his signature. While the autograph cannot be verified, the formation of the capital letters "J" and "K" share similarities with some of his other signatures. The book has a cracked spine and is Good; the autograph Fine. SOLD AS IS, NO RETURNS.
Lot 1060
Roosevelt, Edith Kermit. (1861-1948), First Lady of the United States during her husband, President Theodore Roosevelt's terms in office (1901-1909). Autograph Letter Signed "Edith Kermit Roosevelt". 12vo -- two and one half pages on folded Sagamore Hill letterhead, Aug. 13, 1920. Very good content. Writing to Mr. Van Valkenberg, publisher of the Philadelphia "North America", Teddy Roosevelt's widow clarifies: "It seems to me that in every possible manner it should be made clear that it is Franklin D. Roosevelt who is on the Democratic ticket, and not one of my sons. This may seem absurd to you but this is what he is thought to be in some parts of the country… It hurts me to have the Democratic party made upon Theodore's name." Franklin Delano Roosevelt had received the Democratic nomination for the vice-presidency in July 1920. Mrs. F.D.R., Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, was the daughter of Teddy's younger brother Elliott. Fine with minimal ink fading. Accompanied by the original envelope bearing an "Edith K. Roosevelt" free frank. [2]
