Letter signed Bertha Rives Skinker, Red Rock House, Lynn, Massachusetts, to Belle [Isabella Neilson Skinker], [Wequetonsing]. My plans are to leave here a week from tomorrow for Wequetonsing, and I hope Papa is going to write that that is all right. Aunt Cote and the Scotts are coming tomorrow, so Aunt Cote may take my place with Auntie. Friday was spent at Beverly with Mrs. Goddard and Eliza. The idea of your being really sick is horrible, and I want to go bully and shame you into a more seemly manner of life., 1901 Aug 11

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.
