Letter signed T.K. Skinker, St. Louis, to wife, Arcadia Valley Sanitarium, Ironton, Mo. I am very sorry to hear of your malarial attack. Eck left this morning on his westward journey. I contented myself with telling him that perhaps the division of functions between us was fair, I furnishing the money for the trip and he the brains. I have a letter from Mary at Healing Springs. Mr. & Mrs. Sam Gordon were expected to arrive. Rosalie is with Mrs. Wheat & Frederick is with a camp of boys in W. Virginia., 1905 July 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.
