Mr. Jesse Edward Curry
Chief of Police
Dallas Police Department
Dallas, Texas
Dear Mr. Curry,
In brief introduction, I have been invited by Mrs. John F.
Kennedy to write an historical account of the events of and
surrounding the death of President Kennedy. The enclosed announce-
ment describes the nature of the project.
I expect to be in Texas late this summer, and I would be most
grateful if you and I could talk then. I know that Mrs. Kennedy
would appreciate it, too.
During July I shall be working in New England, and my address
then will be 115 High Street, Middletown, Connecticut. After
August 1, I shall be back in this office.
It would be extremely useful to me if you could send me a
telephone number at which you can be reached in August and
September. If the number is unlisted I shall, of course, treat
it with discretion.
Faithfully,
m
William Manchester
