Autograph; 4.2" X 5.5"; 1 pages; Typed Note Signed by Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. on his Personal Printed Notepaper to Katherine "Kay" Evans "7 June 2003 // Dear Kay: / Sorry for the delay in returning / these -- a delay due to my 65th / reunion! Also arthritis in my right / wrist has reduced my handwriting to / total illegibility (and ended my days / on the tennis court). // Be sure and let us know when you / come to New York. We miss you. / Alexandra sends love, and so do I. // Arthur [Signed] Arthur Meier Schlesinger, Jr. (born Arthur Bancroft Schlesinger; October 15, 1917 February 28, 2007) was an American historian, social critic, and public intellectual, son of the influential historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, Sr. A specialist in American history, much of Schlesinger's work explored the history of 20th-century American liberalism. In particular, his work focused on leaders such as Harry Truman, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Robert F. Kennedy. In the 1952 and 1956 presidential campaigns he was a speechwriter and adviser to Democratic presidential nominee Adlai Stevenson II. Schlesinger served as special assistant and "court historian" to President Kennedy from 1961 to 1963. He wrote a detailed account of the Kennedy Administration, from the 1960 presidential campaign to the president's state funeral, titled A Thousand Days: John F. Kennedy in the White House, which won the 1966 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography. PROVENANCE: Katherine "Kay" Winton Evans was a Washington writer and editor and with her husband political columnist and television journalist Rowland Evans, Jr. a major figure in the social life of Georgetown, Washington, DC from the 1960s on. Mrs. Evans grew up in Minnesota outside Minneapolis on the shore of Lake Minnetonka; her father David J. Winton was president of the Winton Lumber Company. She graduated from the Putney School in Vermont and was a 1946 graduate of Vassar College, where she was editor of the Vassar Chronicle. After college she worked on the editorial page of The Minneapolis Times, and moved to Washington in 1948 where she met and married Rowland Evans, Jr., then a reporter for the Associated Press Washington Hill bureau. Mrs. Evans was on staff of Senator Hubert H. Humphrey and later for Senator Paul H. Douglas. In 1980 she became the managing editor of The Washington Journalism Review, a publication on the press and in 1983 became editor, a position she held until 1987. Mrs. Evans was a trustee for Vassar College for 15 years. Their home was the site of many memorable gatherings of influential and remarkable people from journalism, politics and general society over the decades from the 1960s to the 2000s.; Signed by Author.…
