These are arranged alphabetically by the sender's last name; 2) Congratulatory letters to Thornburgh upon appointment as Attorney General including related requests, July-August 1988. These are arranged alphabetically by request or letter "type," including meeting requests and requests to keep fighting against issues such as drugs and pornography, among others; 3) Correspondence from Thornburgh regarding DOJ administrative issues. These include commendation letters for outstanding work, resignation letters, nomination letters, and others. They are arranged alphabetically by administrative issue; 4) Attorney General personal, or "signature," correspondence, business-related. Includes letters and notes to and from Thornburgh. They are arranged chronologically, 1988-1991; 5) Attorney General personal, or "signature," correspondence, truly "personal," and not business related.
