One letter from L. Martin to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated October 27, 1973. Martin is against the impeachment of President Nixon and writes, "Our President needs your consideration and understanding, certainly not the clicking and twisting of the constitution to fit tricks many of your colleagues are doing. It may be shocking to see skeletons coming out of closets from those who are loved at this time."

Moorhead, Carlos J., 1922-2011
