One letter from Louis Blanchard to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated 1973-1974. Blanchard supports the impeachment of President Nixon and writes, "This country must be put back into running condition which can only be accomplished with the removal of Nixon, whos ill fated attempts at cover up and distortion have irreparably ruined any claims he might hold of restoring trust or confidence in an office that demands such qualities."
