Autograph letter signed

Title: to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead

One letter from Stephen Beard to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated November 4, 1973. Beard supports the impeachment of President Nixon and writes, "This is the most vital business the house has before it at this time + nothing, absolutely nothing, save a national crisis or disaster, should receive precedence over this most serious matter!!!" "We in California are sick to death of being governed on the other side of the United States by a pack of liars and criminals, and we want a godly, moral, honest president -- if there's anyone left who fits the description!"
