Letter signed Bertha R. Skinker, Wequetonsing, to husband. It seems queer for Bertha to have Bella’s admirer on her hands, but I think Bella rejoices in her escape. I have no doubt you are kind to Joe on his Mother’s and Aunt’s account. Mentions Mrs. Galt, Mrs. Rebers[?], Mrs. Hardaway, Mrs. Ashley Scott, Bishops, Mrs. White, Mrs. Foote. I was truly sorry to miss seeing Llewellyn. I did not come across Mr. & Mrs. Barnes, but if I knew where they are staying I would go to see them., 1900 Aug 17

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The collection consists primarily of Skinker family correspondence, the bulk of which is between Thomas K. Skinker and his wife, Bertha Rives Skinker. The collection also contains several folders of tax receipts of Thomas Skinker dated 1839-1886. This finding aid was compiled by keying in the document descriptions on the folder covers. These document descriptions were presumably written by a Missouri Historical Society archivist soon after the collection was purchased in 1978.
