East Carolina College
Greenville, North Carolina
6 October 1960
Honorable John F. Kennedy
Campaign Headquarters
1106 Connecticut Avenue, N.W.,
Washington, D.C.
Dear Senator Kennedy:
I enclose a small contribution to the campaign fund. It is my conviction that among the college professors with whom I am acquainted you are the overwhelming choice.
Your visit to Greenville in September won many friends and supporters. The broadcast of your statement to the ministers of Houston has created a very favorable reaction in this area. The first of the televised debates was considered a victory for the Democratic cause, which you so ably presented, by all persons with a grain of intelligence.
Yours very sincerely,
John F. Steelman
Associate Professor of History
