One letter from B.W. Lemon to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated November 17, 1973. Lemon is against the impeachment of President Nixon. Believes that impeachment would lead to more harm to the nation "in the long run." Also believes that communists are trying to ruin the country, "So I am inclined to believe that certain lefties in our country will leave no stone unturned to turn our country upside down. The Watergate offered a rich ball of gum for these persons to chew on."

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