Letter signed Alex. Rives Skinker, East Orange, New Jersey, to mother, St. Louis. I saw Cousin Ida and Julia; also Bendina Hudson was here for a while and I called on her. I have had a letter from Bessie Hall promising to introduce me to her friend, Millie Fowler. Walter Brooks, the fellow who succeeded me at Kansas City, has been transferred to New York. During the last week I have received invitations to Bob McGoodwin’s, Effie Bagnell’s and Hazel Hyde’s weddings., 1910 Oct 26

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.
