Letter signed T.K. Skinker, St. Louis, to wife. Yesterday I called at Wm. Donaldson’‘ [William Donaldson’s] and asked him to take a walk with me through the World’s Fair grounds. He . . . charged that the World’s Fair had threatened and forced Washington University in granting a lease, and that they had cut 17,000 trees out of Forest Park. For the first charge he gave Hal Eliot as authority. I hope you did not fail to read in Sunday’s Republic Francis’ letter to the Parkview Realty Co., [1902] July 21

Letter signed T.K. Skinker, St. Louis, to wife. Half of my friends are going to compete for the prize. I have a letter from Ida, which I enclose. In answer I suggested that she and her aunts ought to club together and offer a prize of $25 for the second best poem. Who can say we may not help develop some modern Virgil singing of the beauties and sweetness of Skinker road night—infested by the wailing whipporwill?, 1902 July 26

Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. The newspaper folk continue to write up Skinker Road and the Skinkers. Mr. Sturgeon wrote to the P.D. in very pleasant terms of father. The enclosed letter from Mrs. Hutchinson came yesterday. The net result of all the talk is that the name of the road is not to be changed. Hereafter it will rival Westmoreland and Vandeventer Places.
