One letter from Richard Hopson to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated December 5, 1973. Hopson supports the impeachment of President Nixon. He writes, "As I talked to other constituents in your district, I get the general feeling that although most of them voted for Mr. Nixon in 1960, 62, 68, and 72, they feel he has done too much harm to the Republican Party to allow him to continue."
