One letter from Patrick Marchek to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated February 12, 1974. Marchek is against the impeachment of President Nixon. Pleased with Moorhead, who was one of the four who voted against the subpoena bill. He writes, "Taking that you my own personal congressman from my district was one of 4 from the entire house who supported the president in his battle against sinister forces who would dislodge him from office, 'horray' for playing an apple trying to save this over ripe tree."
