Letter signed T.K. Skinker, St. Louis, to wife, Biloxi. Bella absolutely refuses to substitute for Bertha at Biloxi. I am satisfied that a main reason is that it would suspend the operations of the Junior Aux., Mrs. Brown being on the point of departure from the city. Her husband, the doctor, has had an advantageous offer to go to Peoria, Ills., and has accepted it. I hope it will not turn out as poor Boughton’s removal did., 1917 Feb 10

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.
