One telegram from Arnold H. Mevis to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated July 25, 1974. Written by a "old friend" of Moorhead, Mevis’s letter pertains to Moorhead's statements on July 25. He writes that "I was shocked at your statements today. They were so weak and lacking of Christian moral sense. Remember even Christ drove the money changers from the temple."
