Moresi - Reaux Collection Scans (Folder F)

D-MO1-F-001
A list of goods ordered from Alcee Devillier from an unknown sender. The list consists of items used for machine maintenance including gasoline and coal oil.

D-MO1-F-002
The second half of a letter from P. E. Moore to a friend of his. The writing is difficult to read in some places. Moore writes about what he has been up to, detailing his visit to a "a most lovely place." Moreover, he writes that he will come to visit his friend soon.

D-MO1-F-003
A payment of $35.50 from Mr. John Chirs(?) to Dr. J.E. Shute. There is also an additional note written in French at the bottom of the paper, detailing a payment of $15.00 from Mr. Perrodin to Dr. Shute.

D-MO1-F-004
The first fragment of a letter to the Police Jury of St. Landry Parish torn into three pieces, connected to F-005 and F-006. The letter is from Dr. Hawkins, Mr. Wharton(?), and another signature that is too difficult to read to the Police Jury of St. Landry Parish.

D-MO1-F-005
The second fragment of a letter to the Police Jury of St. Landry Parish torn into three pieces, connected to F-004 and F-006. The three senders are requesting for "Annie(?)" Phillis Ferguson to be placed on the indigent list since she is too old to work.

D-MO1-F-006
The third fragment of a letter to the Police Jury of St. Landry Parish torn into three pieces, connected to F-004 and F-005.

D-MO1-F-007
A check written to Dr. W.E. Hawkins for $2.50. The sender's name is too ornately written to read, but it can be concluded that they were a previous patient of Hawkins, paying for their treatment.

D-MO1-F-008
A letter to Dr. J.E. Hawkins from B.B. Hawkins, who is, presumably, Dr. Hawkins' relative. In the letter, B.B. Hawkins writes that a man named Jessie came around, interested in a mule that they are caring for, but B.B. Hawkins is not willing to sell the mule to him because Jessie is, "very cruel to stock."

D-MO1-F-009
Envelope for F-008.

D-MO1-F-010
A letter to the Lecompte Bank from W.E. Hawkins. The writing is difficult to read in some spots. In it, Hawkins requests for the reciever to find a specific rent-note for A.S. Bass with another name on the back. He wants the bank to collect the due principle imminently.

D-MO1-F-011
Envelope for F-010

D-MO1-F-012
Another letter from W.E. Hawkins to the Lecompte Bank about the A.S. Bass mentioned in F-010. Apparently, Mr. Bass has been a problematic tenant, avoiding his rent payments for several months, and now, Mr. Hawkins is determined to collect.

D-MO1-F-013
The second page of F-012.

D-MO1-F-014
Another letter from W.E. Hawkins to the Lecompte bank, presumably about the situation described in F-010 and F-012. The letter contains the name of Bass's employer and his location so that the bank has more information about how to track Bass down to force him to pay his debts.

D-MO1-F-015
An envelope addressed to Dr. W.E. Hawkins from the Yellowstone Park Association.

D-MO1-F-016
An envelope from the Burnham Soluable Iodine Company. The addressee is cut off.

D-MO1-F-017
A business card from W.T. Longnecker, a practical Optician. There is a note written on the back detailing instructions about where to place a cast for shipping. The notes does not appear to be from Longnecker; the person who received this card (Moresi?) must have written this note on whatever was nearby.

D-MO1-F-018
A letter from L. Perrin Jr. to Dr. Hawkins, requesting for medicine Hawkins gave him previously. Perrin asks Hawkins if it would be possible for him to send the medicine by mail since he is too busy to take time out of his schedule to collect them himself.

D-MO1-F-019
An envelope addressed to Dr. W.E. Hawkins. There is no sender listed on the envelope.

D-MO1-F-020
