Letter signed T.K. Skinker, 4380 McPherson, St. Louis, to wife. The Grays stayed in Eureka one week. They found nothing he could eat, no conveniences, a crowded hotel with music and dancing. Drought is delaying the work on the University. Last night I was one of a party of W.U. alumni who tendered Prof. [Edmund Arthur] Engler a banquet on his departure to assume the presidency of the Worcester School of Technology.

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.
