Description: This is a 1988 letter that is signed by two women who worked for the Democratic Party: (1) Sandra Perlmutter was the assistant secretary of the Democratic National Committee from 1976 to 1989. (2) Karla J. Schnurr was an assistant in the office of the Secretary of the Democratic National Committee. Both women worked for Dorothy Vredenburgh Bush (1916-1991). She was the secretary of the Democratic National Committee for forty-five years, from 1944 to 1989. When Dorothy Bush retired in 1989, Sandra Perlmutter campaigned for that office, but lost the election to Kathy Vick. (PLEASE NOTE: I am selling another letter by Sandra Perlmutter, which was written in 1989, shortly after she lost that election. That letter has some of her thoughts about her campaign.) The letter is addressed to Richard J. Murphy (1929-2006), who was Assistant Postmaster General in both the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. In 1969, he became an assistant to Lawrence F. O'Brien, who was chairman of the Democratic National Committee (and who later became the Commissioner of the NBA). Murphy attended every Democratic National Convention from 1952 to 2000, supervising security committees at seven conventions. He was general director of the 1972 convention. In 1970, Murphy co-edited a book about labor relations with public employees. During his career, he also was vice president of Time Warner Cable,and director of government affairs for Unisys. On May 28, 1972, Murphy's office at the Watergate complex was broken into, in what is considered to be the first Watergate break-in. The letter is dated August 18, 1988. The letter is written on an 11" by 8.5" sheet of stationery of the Democratic National Committee, with Dorothy Bush's name and position printed near the top left corner. The letter is an expression of thanks to Richard J. Murphy for his help with the 1988 Democratic National Convention. Sandra Perlmutter added a handwritten note at the end of the letter, thanking Murphy for taking care of Dorothy Bushat the convention. The letter is in very good condition, with some creases and moderate wear. Shipping is FREE via USPS First Class Mail. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
