Louisa Kennedy's Copy of The Elements of Style by Strunk and White

The 1959 edition of The Elements of Style was the first to include contributions and revisions by E. B. White. The original style guide had been written by White's Cornell University professor William Strunk, Jr., for use in his classroom. A copy of the third printing was inscribed to Louisa Kennedy by White in the year of publication.
