Letter signed T.K. Skinker, Denver, Colorado, to wife, St. Louis. The Vickery case is for argument at Chicago. . . . I do not even know whether I can get there in time. I have often wished that I had business enough at home to be able to decline that which takes me away. I have made here the acquaintance of Julian Skinker’s son Murray. He is doing well as book-keeper for the Money Mercantile Co. . . ., 1904 Jan 8

Letter signed T.K. Skinker, aboard steamer Washington, to wife, St. Louis. Arrived at Old Point last night. Our party consisted of Mr. & Mrs. Ballard & their daughter Miss Gertrude [Gertrude Ballard], Mr. & Mrs. Kingsland & grandson Douglas, Mr. D.M. Houser & his little boy. Teddie Wilcox came to see me this morning. Our party was increased by the addition of Frank [Estes] & Mrs. Estes, Mrs. Kingsland’s daughter Bessie and her husband and Mr. Harney and Charlie Knapp who came from New York. Dedication ceremony of the Battleship Missouri. In the company I found quite a number of Missourians, among them Commander Knapp, Dexter Tiffany, young Chaffee of Carthage, and Ensign Castleman of Kentucky a nephew of George. The speeches didn’t amount to much. The service is massive and handsome & will make no small addition to the ship’s furniture. We saw where the fatal catastrophe occurred a few weeks ago., 1904 June 4

Letter signed T.K. Skinker, Berryville, Virginia, to wife. As I wrote you on the steamboat, I left Old Point Saturday evening for Washington. Bessie Selden is certainly a very lovely girl. I do not wonder that Charlie surrendered to her charms. Mrs. Wheat and Mary send you love. Mary had been but a short time at the Catousville Sanitarium, when she found she was in the wrong box. It is a place for people who are mentally unbalanced., 1904 June 7

Letter signed T.K. Skinker, St. Louis, to wife, North Hatley, Quebec, Canada. Friday night Julian and his mother came in and spent with us. They were much impressed by the World’s Fair illumination. I am much afraid that Julian would discountenance the use of the armchairs at the Missouri Building as too ludicrous. Yesterday Jane went to Valley Park with Claude Matthews at one o’clock and did not get back till half past one o’clock this morning., 1904 Aug 7

Letter signed Frank C. Morris, Louisa Co., Virginia, to Thos. K. Skinker, St. Louis. We find it necessary in the settlement of Aunt Sally’s affairs to sell the Library, and write to know if you or Charley or any would care to buy it. We will take $350.00. I should think Charley, being a lawyer, would prize his grandfather’s library., 1904 Aug 12

Typescript letter signed T.K. Skinker, St. Louis, to wife. I am sorry to note Pinnie’s account of herself. Her condition must be nearly desperate, and I doubt very much if Mr. Seamon appreciates the fact. Charlie reports that Mrs. Selden is improving. (More on the Seldens.) We had Tom and Annie Skinker with us last night. I took them and Jane up to the Fair. We saw the Boer War and rode home in an automobile. Julian thinks that Tom is not doing much at school. . . . I believe him mistaken. I suppose you have read in the paper of Mrs. Breck. Jones [Mrs. Breckinridge Jones] awful death. I wrote Mary advising that she and Fred and Rosalie come now and see the World’s Fair. Mary wrote as if it was a sort of insanity to propose anybody should come to St. Louis in August., 1904 Aug 18

Letter signed T.K. Skinker, St. Louis, to wife, North Hatley, Quebec. I enclose a letter lately received from Mr. Frank Norris. I answered that I did not want the Library as a whole, but I might be able to come by and make a selection. I had a visit today from Mrs. Speer, Virginia McBlair’s cousin. A Richmond church is thinking of calling Dr. Winchester. Aleck and Douglas canoed on the Meramec [River] that day that Mrs. Wright was drowned. None of the published accounts mention it, but Aleck says that the boatmen say that both Wright and the other man were drunk. Attendance (at the fair) is increasing, not as it ought to, but still considerably & steadily., 1904 Aug 24
