One letter from Robert Bentley to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated July 25, 1974. Bentley supports the impeachment of President Nixon. He criticizes Moorhead's excuses for voting against impeachment as partisan and biased and writes, "I have just listened to your astonishing flight of fancy on television. It was the most blatantly partisan (and therefore discountable) presentation so far. You did the President more harm than good, I fear, as you so obviously ignored the hard facts having to do with culpability, and instead dwelt on biased supposition."

Moorhead, Carlos J., 1922-2011
Nixon, Richard M. (Richard Milhous), 1913-1994
Bentley, Robert, fl. 1974
