Title: Louisiana state executive correspondence, 1869-1924, 1930 (bulk 1920-1924).

The Louisiana State Executive Correspondence consists of correspondence, invoices, tear sheets, clippings, certificates, maps, drawings, and other records created and accumulated by Governors Henry Clay Warmoth, William Pitt Kellogg, Stephen B. Packard, Francis Tillou Nicholls, Louis Alfred Wiltz, Samuel Douglas McEnery, Murphy J. Foster, William Wright Heard, Newton Crain Blanchard, Jared Young Sanders, Luther Egbert Hall, Ruffin G. Pleasant, John M. Parker, and Henry L. Fuqua in the conduct of their official duties between 1869 and 1924. The great majority of the correspondence is that of John M. Parker, dating between 1920 and 1924 and totaling 9.5 linear feet. His correspondence concerns agricultural issues; economic development; the National Guard; state educational and public health institutions; state boards, commissions, and police juries; bills and actions by the Louisiana Legislature; levees; public utilities; people seeking pardons and appointments; citizens' grievances; and other governmental matters. After Parker, most of the remaining correspondence belongs to the administrations of Luther Egbert Hall, William Pitt Kellogg, Samuel Douglas McEnery, and Francis Tillou Nicholls. Correspondence for all other governors is of a negligible quantity, always fewer than twenty items for each administration.
