Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. The die is cast. Our home for the next three years is to be at No. 4263 McPherson Ave. The moment I notified Scott & Farrar they called up Hey & Stewart & found the latter had just started their wagon to the house with a full stock of papers. They were turned back by telephone. What would you have thought of living in paper of Hey & Stewart’s selection? Scott & Farrar say they will have the house ready by the 20th., 1901 Sept 16

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.
