Letter signed Alexander Rives Skinker, East Orange, New Jersey, to mother. I suppose by this time work has been started on the house. I reckon by the time I get home for a visit I won’t recognize the old place at all. . . . Saw Terry Allen. You know he has been living in Tennessee for several years, is president of a bank, a telephone company, and has a finger in I don’t know how many other pies., 1910 June 20

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.
