Letter signed T.K. Skinker, St. Louis, to wife, North Hatley, Quebec, Canada. Friday night Julian and his mother came in and spent with us. They were much impressed by the World’s Fair illumination. I am much afraid that Julian would discountenance the use of the armchairs at the Missouri Building as too ludicrous. Yesterday Jane went to Valley Park with Claude Matthews at one o’clock and did not get back till half past one o’clock this morning., 1904 Aug 7

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.
