Typescript letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. I think Lev Chase is trying to drive a hard bargain. Perhaps owing to Bella’s condition we could not get out of his house by the 15th of September. Alex enjoyed himself very much at St. Joseph, having been taken up by some of the prominent ladies of that city and given an entre to high society., 1907 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.
