http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647813226

Include bills, accounts, inventories and letters of the Weeks family of "Shadows on the Teche," New Iberia, La. Of interest is the will of David Weeks, 1834, leaving property "bought at the sale of the late Dr. John Fowles" and some slaves to his daughters, Frances and Harriet. In a letter, 1853, Mary C. Moore asks her husband, John, to bring her a copy of "Uncle Tom's cabin." In a letter, 1943, Lyle Saxon writes to Weeks Hall vowing to save "The Shadows" which Hall has offered to the government.
