Dear Mr. Taylor:

I want through you to take this opportunity to thank the people of West Virginia for their fairness, for their confidence, and for their support.

West Virginia has given me a great boost toward the Democratic presidential nomination and I want to tell you I will not forget the state or her people. Nor will I forget the pledge I have made to see that a positive program of action is enacted to help West Virginia.

Sincerely yours,
JACK KENNEDY
