Preston C. LeBlanc papers, 1923-1969 (1923-1925)

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/698223132

These papers are comprised almost entirely of letters written to Floris M. Showers of Gulfport, Miss., by two suitors, Herbert Hutchins of Hammond, Ind., and Preston C. LeBlanc of Erath, La. In their letters, the two young men write about their personal activities, and they both express affection for Floris and the desire to marry her. Herbert Hutchins also writes at length about an automobile race, sailing, German politics, the political environment in Europe, the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana, prohibition, and the death of President Warren Harding. Other items in the collection include LeBlanc's military draft registration card (1940), his calling card showing him as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Louisiana senate, and a memorial card noting the death of Floris Showers LeBlanc (1969). Papers also contain an illustrated postcard of the train station in Lafayette, La. (undated), a colored portrait of LeBlanc (undated), and photographs of unidentified persons.
