Letter signed T.K. Skinker, Sport, Texas, to wife, St. Louis. A gentleman here from Dallas has given me some account of your old friend Chas. Fred. Tucker. According to him, Tucker has almost wholly dropped out of sight. He does not seem to think there is anything worse than laziness the matter. Col. Fordyce is the centre here. I am learning several things about him, one of which is that he is pretty deaf and does not want it known. From the papers I have learned of the indictment & arrest of Councilman Schnell & delegate Garaghty., 1902 May 31

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.
