Letter signed A[lexander] R. Skinker, [Wequetonsing], to Brud [Charles Skinker]. The tennis court is dandy. Erastus Wells and myself played together in the doubles and got soaked. I play Thruston Wright in singles. . . . I heard you and Willie are coming up the last of the month. You will have a dandy time. Tennis and golf, walking and rowing, fussing the girls and odds and ends fill up the time pretty well., 1901 Aug 8

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.
