Letter signed Thomas K. Skinker, approaching Atlanta, Georgia, to wife. After a nine hour stay with the Birchetts I left Vicksburg last night at 10 o’clock. I planned to stop at Atlanta and make the acquaintance of my kinsman, Rev. Wm. M. Walton, but he is not at home. I am mingling business with pleasure in such a way that I can charge nearly all to my three clients., 1901 Jan 7

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.
