One letter from Jacob Flushman to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated July 19, 1974. Flushman supports the impeachment of President Nixon and writes, "May I suggest that grounds for impeachment, (among many others), should be failure to uphold his oath of office. If this is not apparent to you, there is no hope for you."
