One letter from John D. Roberts to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated July 28, 1974. Roberts supports the impeachment of President Nixon. He writes on United Airlines stationery. He describes his efforts to follow the Judiciary Committee hearings on television and by reading the trial transcripts. He writes, "That you were willing to have my children, grandchildren read in their history books that this is the way a President talked, the way he acted, the way he lied, the way he was concerned about PR and not principle but was staunchly defended by a small [illegible] of Representatives who could not see that this endangered the whole system."
