Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. When I write to Bertha, it takes time. I have to compose it first in pencil & then write it out in ink. When I have done this, no doubt Bertha thinks to herself, how dull! We have a new car on the Clayton line. I wrote Capt. Robert a letter of thanks telling him that I took the car as a partial answer to my prayer (to him, for more service). [Enclosed is a typewritten note on the nature of God and the creation.], 1913 July 24

Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. Mr. John Hancock Norton has arrived. I am now willing to call his Pa Father Norton. We are letting the organ contract to the Estey Organ Co. But the grandest church item is yet to come, and I tell it to you as a state secret. The Bishop has bought another lot and a half to add to the church property. It adjoins the lot on which St. Michaels stands, fronts 100 ft. on Wydown and runs clear through to Ellenwood Ave. where Cecil joins Ellenwood. The Lambert house is going to be an oddity. It will be 30 ft. front and 104 ft. deep, coming back almost to the dividing line between them and O’Neil. Under the north third and south third there will be a basement, but none under the middle third., 1913 July 28

Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. It was decided a trip to New Mexico for the trustees of the Edward Butler estate was not necessary. News from Mrs. Norton continues favorable. Mr. N. is to go for a vacation to Pentwater, Michigan where he will visit the Boughtons. Aleck left last night for Bloomington. Last week I had the granitoid pavement in front of the house taken up and made over. The Lambert excavation is progressing., 1913 July 30

Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. Mr. Norton has started on his summer vacation. He has placed his family silver with Mr. & Mrs. Dix for safe keeping. Yesterday afternoon their apartments were entered and all their clothing carried off. For some time past, depredations have been going on at the gymnasium. Morris invoked the aid of the detective department, and before long the jewelry was found at a pawnshop in E. St. Louis. This led to the arrest of the thieves—three boys 15 & 16 years of age living in the West End. I suppose you have read in the Republic of that Mr. Hunter Davidson who renounced the Episcopal church at the gate of Monticello., 1913 Aug 4

Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. We have not yet gotten over our joy at the discovery of the Ap Shinkle wills. Bella is so enthused that she wants me to go straight to London. We have had a nuisance imported to the hill in the shape of a parrot, the loudest-screeching, most raucous beast I ever heard. He woke Mr. Brookings the first morning Mr. B. arrived and kept him awake from day-break. The beast belongs to the Wallaces., 1913 Aug 13
