Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. Aleck is to go to the Armory where he is to be O.D. (officer of the day) for 12 hours, or until 7 o’clock tomorrow morning. Then to work at his new factory, 1012 Market St. If the other officers of the First are as diligent at Aleck, it will be a crack regiment. Doris is in town. She will miss out on seeing much of him; but I suppose that will suit her new beau, whether it suits her or not. We had a good congregation today, to listen to a good sermon from Bp. Johnson. Mrs. Herf is to be home next Wed. in satisfactory condition., 1917 Feb 11

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.
