Typescript letter signed manager of circulation, Century Co., New York, to T.K. Skinker, St. Louis. Thank you for your reply to my letter asking why you discontinued your subscription for The Century. We have had several of your subscribers tell us that they feel that The Century was devoting too many of its pages to fiction, and not enough to articles., 1917 Jan 9

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.
