Letter signed Alex R. Skinker, Kansas City, to Mother, St. Louis. It is a great pleasure living with Doug. This last week I have had a pretty hard time. Three out of six of my operators (at A.T. & T.) quit at once. They were sore over some changes I made and walked out. I have started going to Grace Church with Doug. I have had no time to meet people yet except in the most casual way., 1909 Apr 18

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.
