Rare Jackie Kennedy letters no longer for sale

A rare trove of personal correspondence between Jackie Kennedy and an Irish priest, in which she writes about everything from her engagement to her grief over John F. Kennedy’s assassination, is no longer up for auction. The auction, which was expected to fetch $5 million, was called off after it became unclear whether the priest’s will permitted the letters to be sold.
