Letter from Jacqueline Kennedy to James Whitney Fosburgh, 13 Sept. 1961. 3 pp. James Whitney Fosburgh papers, 1937–1978.
Jacqueline Kennedy (1929–1994) resolved to meet the "crying need for some good American pictures" in the White House, as there was "really nothing but late nineteenth-century Presidents in black." She called on painter James Whitney Fosburgh (1910–1978) to oversee the selection of the works, hoping “to acquire permanently … all the finest from this country's past.”
