(laughter) who are we to judge? the letter is to painter and socialite mary pinchot meyer, who was a kennedy family friend with benefits. (laughter) the contents of the letter have been released and here's what it said: "why don't you leave suburbia for once, come and see me, either here or at the cape next week or in boston. you say that it is good for me not to get what i want. after all of these years, you should give me a more loving answer than that. why don't you just say yes?" which is the presidential equivalent of "you up?" (laughter) (applause) we do these things not because they are easy but because i am hard. (laughter) i apologize. i apologize to everyone. the letter's expected to go for at least $30,000, and when i heard that, i did what any historian would do -- go up to my attic and see if i had any presidential love letters lying around. turns out, i did, an

also being from new england, did their accent of president roosevelt john f. kennedy help them? didn't make it more interesting to people? was it something people were not used to? >> that is a really interesting question. i've not not really thought about that last question. i'm not sure that it did, except from the standpoint. in the kennedy accent was a bit of an issue originally. i guess the best way of explaining that is that if you look at the first famous television debate he had with richard nixon, think it was september 26, 1960, i have to double check on that. it was a huge event and people who watched that debate on television that the kennedy one that decisively because next have been new, he had lost weight, he was sweating, he didn't wear makeup, he looked nervous and ice twitching. kennedy in the meantime have been campaigning in california, he had a tank, he used a little bit of makeup and was smooth and effective. so on television, it was the look that counted. people thought that kennedy one, but for people who listen to the debate on the radio they thought tha
