One letter from Joan H. Brown to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated November 12, 1973. Brown is against the impeachment of President Nixon and writes in all capital letters, "Back President Nixon 1. We are now at peace 2. Unemployment is down 3. Inflation is coming under control 4. A depression was avoided 5. World peace is coming along 6. No more rioting in the streets as we had under John Kennedy & Lyndon Johnson 7. Our children are back in school studying instead of learning how to throw bricks. For god's sake censor Sam Irwin for being an anti-republican bigot."

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