One letter from Earle Roddy to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated November 4, 1973. Roddy supports the impeachment of President Nixon. He asks the Judiciary Committee step up and do their job, and that it is their responsibility to fix it. He writes, "I'm not the kind of citizen that writes letters to representatives. I let the other fellow do it. But that attitude isn't working anymore."
