One letter from Hope H. Adams to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated November 5, 1973. Adams supports the impeachment of President Nixon. She compares her three children and their responses to trouble to the scandals of the Nixon administration and writes, "My kids admit their wrongdoings when questioned. Like this: "I did it. I'm sorry." or "George did it." Such direct communication might be too much to hope for, but at least we deserve some communication."

Nixon, Richard M. (Richard Milhous), 1913-1994
