Letter signed Alex R. Skinker, East Orange, New Jersey, to mother. By the way, I have not heard whether any decision has been reached in Brud’s suit for damages against the World’s Fair Company. I hope Izzie’s operation has made her feel much better. I don’t see how you could have refrained from telling Cousin Mary her real condition, and if you did I wonder if it occurred to her to contrast her own complaining with sister’s fortitude. In this six months I have really seen little of New York., 1910 Apr 30

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.
