USA Steps in in Quarrel Over Letter from Jackie to Robert Kennedy's Widow

DALLAS (CN) - The United States asked a federal judge to decide who owns a handwritten letter that Jacqueline Kennedy wrote to Ethel Kennedy, Robert Kennedy's widow, shortly after Kennedy was assassinated in June 1968. Apparently, a plumber stole the letter from Ethel Kennedy's home, and after the plumber died, his son, unaware of how his father obtained it, sold the letter to an archive, which resold it. The letter was sold and resold, for higher prices, until one of Robert and Ethel Kennedy's sons learned of it and asked the government to step in.
