Moresi - Reaux Collection Scans (Folder H)

D-MO1-H-001
A page of a letter from Dr. Quirk to Dr. Hawkins. Quirk wrote it in response to the aftermath of a weather event that broke the levies in his area. Quirk informs Hawkins of the damage the flooding caused and the impact this had on his ranch.

D-MO1-H-002
The first page of a letter from Dr. Quirk to Dr. Hakwins. In it, Quirk expresses his frustration that he has not received the lumber he ordered weeks ago, and he asks Hawkins to send word to a person named Chappelle to get the balance for the lumber ordered.

D-MO1-H-003
The second page of H-002. On this page, Quirk continues to write about his frustration with how long it is taking to get the lumber he ordered. He needs the lumber to build a new silo(?) to store his corn crop, which has been flourishing. Quirk also laments that his cotton crop is the poorest it has ever been.

D-MO1-H-004
The third page of H-002. On this page, Quirk tells Hawkins about how he and his family have been doing. Quirk laments that he has not had a break in a while due to the amount of sick people in his area. He also writes about his daughter(?), Belle, who has been growing well and taking piano lessons.

D-MO1-H-005
Another letter from Dr. Quirk to Dr. Hawkins. It is related to the situation described in H-002. Quirk continues to vent to Hawkins about his trouble with getting the lumber he ordered from Chappelle. Quirk writes that he had the carpenter hired for the project set up the frame of the building, and now is waiting for the remainder of the lumber.

D-MO1-H-006
The second page of H-005. Quirk asks Hawkins to write him as soon as Hawkins hears word from Chappelle(?). Moreover, he asks for Hawkins to get back to him about an order he wishes to settle once obtaining the lumber. Quirk then changes the subject to tell Hawkins about a fight he got into with a fellow doctor.

D-MO1-H-007
The first page of a letter from Dr. Quirk to Dr. Hawkins. Quirk writes about the finalization of the purchase of a new press(?) and about how Hawkins needed to send a man to see how the press operated so that it will be easier to put it together.

D-MO1-H-008
The second page of H-007. On this page, Quirk writes about how he asked the seller's neighbors about the quality of the press, and they said it was in good shape. At the bottom of the page, Quirk writes about how Belle and his sister have returned from a trip to Washington. He ends the letter by extending an invitation to Hawkins and his family to visit him when the press arrives.

D-MO1-H-009
The first page of another letter from Dr. Quirk to Dr. Hawkins. Quirk writes about the threat of flooding in his area due to heavy rainfall brought by a large storm. He writes about his plan to move his cattle and horses to a patch of land that will, hopefully, keep them safe.

D-MO1-H-010
The second page of H-009. On this page, Quirk expresses his fear that his efforts to protect his animals and land will not be enough because people have predicted that the flood will be four feet higher than a previous flood in 1882.

D-MO1-H-011
The third page of H-009. On this page, Quirk writes about how the rain has delayed plowing and planting, but he also notes that his livestock are doing fine, informing Hawkins that he recently acquired "7 beautiful little mules." Quirk also comments that he and his family wanted to visit Hawkins, but the rain made the roads too muddy to travel.

D-MO1-H-012
The fourth page of H-009. On this page, Quirk writes about how he has been riding around the swamps to gather his cattle and prepare his land. He is worried that the water will get even higher because there is no place for it to run-out of the swamp.

D-MO1-H-013
An envelope. Potentially the envelope for H-014.

D-MO1-H-014
The first page of another letter between Dr. Quirk and Dr. Hawkins. Quirk writes about how his plans to sell some hay bales(?) and cattle has continued to be delayed.

D-MO1-H-015
The second page of H-014. On this page, Quirk continues to write about his talks with a "cattle man" about Dr. J.E.H. who is looking for an exchange of livestock. Quirk then asks Hawkins how he has been doing.

D-MO1-H-016
The third page of H-014. On this page, Quirk writes about his activities, talking about a large meeting that went well and that he saw a colleague before he left. Quirk then gives Hawkins a brief update about the welfare of his family.

D-MO1-H-017
Another letter between Dr. Quirk and Dr. Hawkins. Quirk begins the letter stating that there should be a letter from W.D. Haas enclosed in the envelope. He then writes in response to Hawkins's previous letter, which seems to have been about someone either buying to coming into some land for lumber production.

D-MO1-H-018
Envelope for H-017.

D-MO1-H-019
Envelope for H-020.

D-MO1-H-020

D-MO1-H-021
A page from a letter between Dr. Quirk and Dr. Hawkins. Quirk writes about how a mutual acquaintance, Dr. J.S. Branch, told him that another doctor, Dr. J.E.H. This doctor had a place near Lake Charles where he and a man named Yancy got nursery stock delivered to Oakdale, and they would plant it.

D-MO1-H-022
The first page of a letter from Dr. Quirk's daughter, Belle, to her uncle, referred to as "Nunk." On this page, she greets her uncle and jokes that he probably did not expect a letter until Christmas. She then writes about how she found a receipt that her uncle was asking for. She says that she gave it and some letters to her papa to send back to her uncle.

D-MO1-H-023
The second page of H-022. On this page, Belle writes about a trip she and her parents took to New Orleans for a few days. While there, as her parents were away on business, Belle went to multiple plays that starred the actress, Julia Marlow. These plays included "Hamlet" and "Romeo and Juliet." She then writes about attending an event at the city park to see Miss Moisant and her monoplane.

D-MO1-H-024
The third page of H-022. On this page, Belle continues to write about seeing Miss Moisant and her monoplane before changing the subject. Her uncle's family recently welcomed a baby girl into the world, so Belle asks about the baby's name. Belle then shifts the subject again to mention that Mr. Haas came to visit, but she just missed him. However, she then ran into him later when horseback riding with her friends.

D-MO1-H-025
The fourth page of H-022. On this page, Belle continues her anecdote about encountering Mr. Haas while on a horseback ride. She then writes about how the yard man has returned and that she needs to talk to him about some flowers she's trying to plant in front of her home.
