Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. Many friends are asking after Bella, among others today Jim Seddon, John Lee, Mr. Morton and Dr. Winchester. Bertha arrived on time this morning, safe and well. We viewed no. 3738 Washington Ave. (description). A look at the outside was enough. The Orricks are out of town, as are Judge and Mrs. Valliant. These two houses are therefore not to be considered. Dr. Williamson is at the Palmer house, Chicago. Cabell Gray reports that at Mackinac he staid at the seven-dollar-a-day hotel., 1901 Aug 29

Letter signed Bertha R. Skinker to husband. I told Charley to send you a telegram to close with Mrs. Robertson, but not for a long lease. The street is already a crowded one and that locality will not long be desirable. Suggests two more houses. Mr. Drew’s son is very ill now; Tom McPheeter and Vallee Rayburn still very ill although the latter is thought to be improving. Mrs. Horace Dyer is so low today it is thought she cannot recover. Why don’t you try for a room at Mrs. Fauntleroy’s on West Pine?, [1901?] Aug 30
