One letter from Edwin H. Blum to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated November 4, 1973. Blum supports the impeachment of President Nixon. He is a Coldwater Republican who believes in, "decency and honor in public life." He emphasizes these traits to Moorehead and remarks that if they are missing, "we of the Republican belief will find ourselves left with the Nixon legacy - disgrace and defeat."
