One letter from Wm. Douglas Sellers to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated July 30, 1974. Sellers supports the impeachment of President Nixon and references a telegram that he sent the previous week which read, "I VOTED FOR HIM TWICE, IMPEACH HIM." In this letter he writes, "There can be only one thing worse than impeaching Mr. Nixon and that is not impeaching him. If this democracy of ours is going to prevail, we must have honestly and integrity in government. High principles must be insisted upon."

Moorhead, Carlos J., 1922-2011
