Letter signed A[lexander] R. Skinker, [Wequetonsing], to Brud [Charles Skinker]. The tennis court is dandy. Erastus Wells and myself played together in the doubles and got soaked. I play Thruston Wright in singles. . . . I heard you and Willie are coming up the last of the month. You will have a dandy time. Tennis and golf, walking and rowing, fussing the girls and odds and ends fill up the time pretty well., 1901 Aug 8

Letter signed Bertha Rives Skinker, Red Rock House, Lynn, Massachusetts, to Belle [Isabella Neilson Skinker], [Wequetonsing]. My plans are to leave here a week from tomorrow for Wequetonsing, and I hope Papa is going to write that that is all right. Aunt Cote and the Scotts are coming tomorrow, so Aunt Cote may take my place with Auntie. Friday was spent at Beverly with Mrs. Goddard and Eliza. The idea of your being really sick is horrible, and I want to go bully and shame you into a more seemly manner of life., 1901 Aug 11

Letter signed T.K. Skinker, St. Louis, to wife. Describes strategy in suit to prevent St. Charles from building its own waterworks. The fight to save the Water Company is one of the most interesting in which I have ever been engaged., 1901 Aug 14

Letter signed Bertha R. Skinker, Wequetonsing, to husband. Mentions Mrs. Glasgow, Miss McPheeters, Miss Perry, Miss Brook, Mrs. Hardaway. I am certain Bella will be unable to resume her usefulness until some operation restores her. I should like to see what arguments you can address to keep a city from building waterworks if it chooses., [1901] Aug 14

Letter signed Bertha Rives Skinker, Lynn, Massachusetts, to Mother. Instead of starting next Monday, I cannot start until the first of September. You see, I have been pulled both ways by duty and desire. My leaving would throw out all Auntie’s plans. There is plenty of compensation here, of course, and I am having a bully good time. This last week has been the best yet, owing to the agreeable presence of Mr. Jackson, a young lawyer from Boston. Mrs. LaBeaume is in very bad condition mentally. Aunt Cote, Cousin Minnie and Cousin Maggie are all here., 1901 Aug 16

Letter signed Bertha R. Skinker, Wequetonsing, to husband. In studying the advertisements in the Sunday papers, I see very little hope of securing a furnished house. We have our parlor furniture, dining room and library, & a few odd pieces. Even the sideboard and table will be very large for the ordinary dining room. Florence Streett, Tom McPheeters and Stewart Taylor are still in bed with fever. Vallee Rayburn is dangerously ill, hovering between life and death. Eugene Miltenberger has walking typhoid. Mr. Drew’s son is also ill., [1901] Aug 16

Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. Attributes of the Robertson house. As things look now, we are to live permanently in the city; and we are also to live on a much smaller scale than we have been accustomed to. If you can make it do at all, we had better take the Robertson house, or some such one, and settle down before the inevitable ante-World’s Fair advance in rents. Inquiring about Fordyce house., 1901 Aug 18

Letter signed Bertha R. Skinker, Wequetonsing, to husband. Bella grows worse instead of better. She needs surgical treatment. Mrs. Reber says the Deaconess Hospital on Bell near her house is very nice. A great gloom is spread over the place by the numbers of sick (at Weque). Tom McPheeters is now the worst, tonight hovering between life and death. Poor Lucy Hoblitzelle was taken yesterday with such violent pains that a premature birth was expected. Mrs. Horace Dyer (nee Edgar) is also very low with typhoid. You no doubt saw that the Edgar’s fine launch blew up and was totally destroyed. Mrs. Galt & Mrs. Thayer were on it only a few days before., [1901] Aug 18
