Scope and Content

From the Collection: The majority of this collection is E. L Moulton's correspondence concerning his business affairs with the Lucia Cash Store in Lucy, New Mexico (1910), Corona Trading Company in Lincoln County, a subsidiary of Ilfeld Company (1912), and Ilfeld Company in Albuquerque (1920-1952), which includes correspondence with Max Nordhaus. There is correspondence generated from Moulton's civic obligations with the Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce, New Mexico Parking Authority, Rotary Club, etc. Letters (1943-1958) from Dr. Everett B. King of the First Presbyterian Church in Albuquerque, discuss financial matters of the church. Other correspondence, postcards, birthday and holiday cards are from his sister and brothers.

Clippings, publications, and pamphlets from the late 1940's concern Native American, particularly Navajo social and economic conditions. One pamphlet published by the New Mexico Association on Indian Affairs states its desire "to show the realistic side of the 'Indian Problem' from the points of view of those intimately acquainted with the Indians from various sections of the United States."

The collection includes various writings and speeches of Moulton. These include papers he presented at the Ten Dons meetings (including 1 photograph of the 50th anniversary dinner of Ten Dons, May 18, 1955), his pamphlet, Seventy years of progress; founding and development of Charles Ilfeld Company, 1865-1935, his book, New Mexico's future, an economic and employment appraisal, biographical materials, notes on sheep herding activities, and "the plight of the Navajos."

Throughout the collection there are written comments attached to the letters, clippings, etc. Evidently these notes were made when the family organized the material before giving it to the University of New Mexico.
