Today, an auction is going to sell some newly-found love letters written by former First Lady, Jackie Onassis Kennedy.
These letter were found in an old briefcase and contain the words that passed between Jackie and the ambassador from Britain, David Ormsby-Gore.
Matthew Haley is the one that found the briefcase. He realized as soon as he saw the handwriting and the ‘J’s, that they belonged to the former FLOTUS.
Haley found them in a home in the UK in the countryside and now they are auctioned.
Jackie started seeing David years after her husband passed away. In fact, David was good friends with the president and he knew Jackie for quite some time.
Their romance started after his wife passed away in a terrible car crash. The two started seeing each other, took vacations together and constantly wrote to one another.
It’s not sure what made them be an item: the tragedies, old friendship or affection. The two dated for quite a while, they took trips in Cambodia and other countries.
Haley thinks that the two were really in love. Jackie had the habit to start her letters with “Dearest David” and then she would end them with “all my love”. He thinks that behind these words lies a deep affection.
In these letters, Haley understood that David proposed to her but she rejected. He was left heartbroken as she then married Aristotle Onassis. In fact, Jackie wrote some of the letters while she was on Onassis’ yacht.
Many years later, when her former lover passed away, Jackie went to his funeral.
