Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. I am still in hope Bella’s case will turn out no typhoid. I saw Mr. Eliot in reference to the Press-brick stock. He informed me that their business is in excellent condition, but they had to spend some $40,000 in improvements which prevents them from making dividends. Aleck & I looked at house #5635 Cates Ave. This is a nice house, but on a small scale. Aleck’s and Jane’s friends visit: Sterling Edmunds, Agnes Blessing, Paul Laidley. Dr. Winchester was sick 3 of 5 weeks in Madison., 1901 Aug 25

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.
