One letter from Joseph W. Twitchell and Wanda J. Twitchell to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated November 5, 1973. The Twitchells support the impeachment of President Nixon. They points out the importance of an impartial prosecution, and a non-partisan trial of Nixon and write, "We are only interested in seeing that the American people capture such office from a man who obviously has gone through 27 years in political life without learning what decency; honesty and honor mean."
