Letter signed Alexander Rives Skinker to mother, c/o T.K. Skinker, Pierce Building, St. Louis. This morning the boss called me in and said he wanted me to go to Chicago as supervisor of traffic. No more long stays away from home for some time now. I will be supervising the handling of the service in the whole Division which includes Cleveland, Cincinnati, Omaha and Minneapolis, so I shall have a chance to see many parts of the country., 1911 Feb 14

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.
