Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. I paid my first visit to both the Manufactures and to the Mines & Metallurgy Buildings. I came to the cloth exhibit of the Charlottesville Woolen Mills. I did not know before that true anthracite had been found south of Pennsylvania (in Virginia). . . . On the Denny road I passed Ben Thomas’ new place, the one he established after Boland kicked him out. Conversation with J. Preiss. I spent an evening last week with Maggie Potter., 1904 Aug 28

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.
