Letter signed Bertha R. Skinker, Wequetonsing, to husband. We were to have had an excursion on Mr. Wyman’s launch this morning, but I hope it is only postponed (because of rain). Poor Ada Eaton is laid up with a severe attack of neuralgia. She took the steamer just after playing golf, with no wrap to protect her. I have discovered another St. Louisan—Mrs. Robert Aull., 1900 Aug 23

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.
