Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. When I write to Bertha, it takes time. I have to compose it first in pencil & then write it out in ink. When I have done this, no doubt Bertha thinks to herself, how dull! We have a new car on the Clayton line. I wrote Capt. Robert a letter of thanks telling him that I took the car as a partial answer to my prayer (to him, for more service). [Enclosed is a typewritten note on the nature of God and the creation.], 1913 July 24

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.
