511 Albany Road Lexington, Ky. 40502 December 1979 Dear Mrs. Kennedy, I've been thinking of you today as I work around the house & I just decided to share my thoughts with you. I was so extremely proud of your interview with Barbara Walters on TV last night. You were so superbly controlled and articulate yet so unabashedly patriotic despite what I considered Barbara's theatrics. l know the anguish you suffer for your husband's fate and my prayers are for you & with you. Having recently fought the battle of breast cancer, I am aware of the fears that spring up in the wee hours of the morning when you can't sleep. But when that comes again to you, please know there is someone else out there thinking of you & praying with you. How l pray for a happy of blessed Christmas for you & yours. Sincerely, Pat Barkley P.S. No need to acknowledge this note - just a moment of sharing woman-to- woman. God bless-
