Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife, 5836 Clemens Ave., St. Louis. At Broadway and Market . . . was a crash between two card. I sprang back to avoid consequences & in so doing lit square on the toes of a small German woman. I have been viewing Arkansas since 8 o’clock this morning. In spite of Col.

Typescript letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. I think Lev Chase is trying to drive a hard bargain. Perhaps owing to Bella’s condition we could not get out of his house by the 15th of September. Alex enjoyed himself very much at St. Joseph, having been taken up by some of the prominent ladies of that city and given an entre to high society., 1907 Aug 28

Typescript letter signed T.K. Skinker, St. Louis, to wife, Wequetonsing. If Bella wishes to prolong her stay at Weque, I have no objections. She is entitled to a time of perfect rest. The state room is already paid for. The babies could be put in one of the lower berths and you and Elizabeth would then have two berths left to divide between you., 1907 Sept 3

Letter signed T.K. Skinker, Richmond, Virginia, to wife, St. Louis. Having Pitzman with me by day and by night, I have never been able to get a single hour I could call my own. We examined & studied Brookline, Bronxville & Larchmont near N.Y. and Roland Park. It is a wonder how autos enable one to get over ground; and at the same time they are so easy to stop & afford every facility for examination. In many places the natural lay of the land resembled Ellenwood enough to be very suggestive., [1907] Oct 2
