Letter signed Bertha R. Skinker, Wequetonsing, to husband. Bella is a helpless invalid now and in spite of her brave efforts is much depressed. If the doctor advises, we shall certainly return next week. Suggests houses to look at. Please look into the Pressed Brick matter. I feel conscious-stricken about poor Frank. Tom McPheeters is now the most alarming case, although Vallee Rayburn, Joe Drew, Stewart Taylor, Florence Streett, Miss Carney and Eugene Miltenberger are still by no means out of danger. We are rejoicing over Lucy Hoblitzelle’s safe delivery of a little girl., 1901 Aug 20

Letter signed Bertha R. Skinker to husband. Charley has been here about an hour. . . . The doctor only formally announced the typhoid last night, but I feel sure she had it when I first discovered her high temperature Wednesday night. The earliest we might hope to leave is Oct. 1. Suggests places for Alex, Jane and Bertha to stay. Cote says she will be here Sunday morning 9:30. Charley’s accounts made me feel you all thought me an awful bungling fool, whilst everybody up here thinks I have been a marvel of coolness and decision., [1901 Aug 23]
