Bobby Kennedy had expressed his fear that his brother John F. Kennedy "might get killed any minute" in letters written to a friend during World War II.
The letters, which are being auctioned off, were written by the 16-year-old Kennedy, while attending Milton Academy in Massachusetts, to a close friend, where he mentioned that he was visiting his family as his brother might be killed any minute as he was going into PT boats, the New York Daily News reported.
The future President of America was completing Naval Reserve Officers Training School at the time of the letter, and was assigned to command the torpedo boat PT-101.
RR Auction wrote on its website that the letters being auctioned provide an intimate, insightful content from his formative years, and covers an extremely important period in Kennedy family history, and are of tremendous historical significance.
