Letter signed T.K. Skinker, Charlottesville, Virginia, to wife. I went to call on Mrs. Thornton and sat with her until her staying guests, U.S. Senator & Mrs. Martin, arrived. Visited Miss Mary Miner, the Meades, Pinnie, Micajah Woods, Jim & Lily Morgan. Pinnie said that Tom Morris is so addicted to the use of morphine that a stranger cannot venture to deal with him. She is going to give up Mrs. Rives’ house on the 1st of June. The program this afternoon was a pretty cold deal for the alumni., 1905 Apr 13

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.
