One letter from E.B. Buffington to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated October 23 1973. Buffington is against the Impeachment of President Nixon. He has adamant arguments in favor of the President's honesty, and makes disparaging comments about those within his party who oppose him. He writes, "It is disgraceful and unbelievable that the Democrats and the News Media in this great and supposedly enlightened country could mislead so many of our citizens and Members of Congress into thinking that one of the greatest presidents in our history is a liar and a criminal."
