4 October (1960): Carl Sandburg to Paula Sandburg

Carl Sandburg writes a very brief letter to wife Paula, as he prepares to vote in the presidential election between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy.  Sandburg, who would later write the forward to Kennedy’s collection of speeches, To Turn the Tide, was a guest at the White House later that month.
