One letter from Anne Atawian to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated October 29, 1973. Atawian supports the impeachment of President Nixon. Stationery features brightly colored printed flowers; commenting on conservative reaction to Nixon, disagrees with a generalization that Moorhead made about the Congressional District of Glendale, CA. She writes, "I understand you reported to the news media that your most conservative district in Glendale is overwhelmingly in favor of the impeachment of President Nixon. I don't know any conservative who is in favor of such action.l In fact they are very much opposed to it. President Nixon is an angel compared with his two predecessors. He has done so much for the country the people should get down on their knees and thank god for him."
