One letter from Lorraine Hartman to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated May 26, 1973. Hartman supports the impeachment of President Nixon. Also addressed to Representative Alfonso Bell. She writes, "The democratic form of government is certainly being put to the test at this time, and as far as I can determine there seems to be a number of political leaders and judges around to keep the process going. A monarchy is definitely not our style-- and it is not the premise on which this country was founded."

Moorhead, Carlos J., 1922-2011
Nixon, Richard M. (Richard Milhous), 1913-1994
