Description

TLS, one page, 6.5 x 8.5, The Vice President's House letterhead, July 7, 1988. Letter to Ms. Brandt, in part: "Thank you for your letter expressing your interest in promoting Americanism. Your question echoes my own thoughts on this subject. First, you might want to list the things that worry you (i.e., crime, child abuse, teenage pregnancies, AIDS, educating our children, unemployment), and determine where your time and energy can best be utilized. Through this same exercise 8 years ago, I chose the eradication of illiteracy in our country. You will find there are many people in this country dedicated to one cause or another—all with one goal—to make this a better place in which to live. Their enthusiasm will envelop you. You can also get involved in your local government, volunteer for a community-service organization, and most importantly, maintain your deep loyalty to your country. Our country will prosper from those who can attack the problems that surface, endure the pain to correct them, and serve with human sensitivity and strength." Bush adds a brief handwritten line to the conclusion: "Thanks for your letter and the clipping!!" In very fine condition.
