One letter from Mary Wollitz to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated January 9, 1974. Wollitz supports the impeachment of President Nixon. She mentions criminal activities and the seriousness of impeachment as a governmental action and writes, "Mr. Nixon has breached the trust placed in him. He continues to arrogantly and tyrannically place himself above the law. He has authorized criminal activity and obstructed justice, he has defied Congress and hurt the American people (particularly by carrying out unauthorized warfare and impounding funds allocated to meet desperate needs)." Written on letterhead from the Division of Adult Religious Education, Archdiocese of Baltimore.
