Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. Jim Seddon told me yesterday that Forest Park wd. be chosen (for the LPE [Louisiana Purchase Exposition]), and also that my proposition for the use of Ellenwood would be accepted. Walsh says that by the time the fair is over, our lands will be worth from 50 to 100% more. The parties who offered Sam Gittens’ mother $50,000 for the 14 acres on the Clayton Rd. at Tamm Ave. wanted a clause that would allow their money back if the World’s Fair took the land. So the trade fell through., 1901 June 25

Letter signed Bertha R. Skinker, The Chipmunk Cottage, to son [Charles Skinker], St. Louis. I hope you and Papa have unpacked and disposed your belongings & have sufficient home & closet room. Won’t you watch over the state of Papa’s trousers for me. It is a great comfort to me as well as to you that you are with Susie. The St. Louis people up here regret the selection of Forest Park for the World’s Fair. Mrs. Galt & I have been amusing ourselves at the Glasgow cottage.

We have had one letter from Bertha from Eastern Point., 1901 June 27

Letter signed T.K. Skinker, 4380 McPherson, St. Louis, to wife. The Grays stayed in Eureka one week. They found nothing he could eat, no conveniences, a crowded hotel with music and dancing.

Letter signed Bertha Rives Skinker, Groton, Connecticut, to father, T.K. Skinker, St. Louis. So the World’s Fair matter is settled, and a fine white elephant we’ve got on our hands. If you could hear the way these Eastern people talk about the Fair, you wouldn’t think many of them are coming to it. Shocked to hear of Mr. Ed. Walsh’s, Hamilton Stone’s and Mrs. Foy’s deaths, and of Mr. Yeatman’s illness., 1901 July 1
