Letter signed T.K. Skinker, Camp Doniphan, Fort Sill, Oklahoma, to wife, St. Louis. Aleck has gone into town to help locate Rulon in her new home. I found Rulon quite at home at Mrs. Lawrence’s & apparently on good terms with them, but they did not seem willing to furnish her supper. I saw Lt. Winzenberg yesterday. Dr. Broadhead said that if he could hold out til Thursday night there would be good reason to expect recovery., 1917 Nov 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.
