One undated letter to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead. Letter is signed by "very truly yours." Originally addressed to Congressman Gary Hart (D-CO). Pleads to the congressman to prevent Nixon from being impeached. Feels that their voices are not represented in the media and the polls. "In other words, I belong apparently, to the 'great silent majority.' There just may be more of us than the pollsters think."

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