One letter from Charles E. Elsass to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated August 6, 1974. Elsass supports the impeachment of President Nixon. He compares Moorhead to Loyalists who supported King George III. and writes, "Mr. Nixon and his supporters are lucky that it is 1974. and not 1774. If it was 1774 they would be tarred and feathered."
