The image is a black and white photograph of a man in a military uniform. The man is standing with his left hand on his hip and his right hand holding a cane. He is wearing a long coat with a high collar and cuffs, and a hat with a feather. He has a serious expression on his face and is looking off to the side.

On the right side of the image, there is a piece of paper with handwriting on it. The handwriting appears to be a letter from the President of the United States, John F. Kennedy. The letter is written in black ink and is addressed to the President. The paper is slightly crumpled, suggesting that it has been handled multiple times.
