Correspondence, 1936-2004 and undated

Series II contains letters, birthday cards, Christmas cards, and postcards sent and received by Murtagh throughout his life. Because historic preservation played such a large role in Murtagh's life, the correspondence in this series is both personal and professional in nature. Correspondence that directly relates to an organization or other activity is located in the appropriate series, while this series contains a broader range of materials. Correspondence that could be directly connected to Murtagh's professional activities can be found in the relevant series. Arrangement is alphabetical by type of correspondence, and then chronological. Blueprints and photographs that were attached to correspondence were removed and placed in Series XI: Drawings and Blueprints and Series XII: Photographs.
