Typescript letter signed manager of circulation, Century Co., New York, to T.K. Skinker, St. Louis. Thank you for your reply to my letter asking why you discontinued your subscription for The Century.

Letter signed T.K. Skinker, St. Louis, to wife, Biloxi, Mississippi. You got away just in time to escape the 10 degree weather. Daniel overslept himself and did not show up until 7:15.

Letter signed T.K. Skinker, St. Louis, to wife, Biloxi. It was certainly an inspiration when you bethought yourself of Biloxi. May you keep on improving until you get back to your old condition when you could walk at will and work around among your flowers.

By this he would get a change of air & scene, bright surroundings and lots of little cherubs[?] to associate, play and fight with. I think this is too good a scheme to drop easily. The enclosed clipping shows that poor Mrs. [Virginia Coleman] Gregory has passed away at last., 1917 Jan 16
