Letter signed T.K. Skinker, Richmond, Virginia, to wife, St. Louis. After leaving Mrs. Buchanan in her log cabin, Pitzman and I made for the street cars and took our way back to Norfolk. Next morning I devoted to showing Pitzman around Richmond. Invited to dine with Mr. & Mrs. Valentine. I did not rush to a telephone as soon as I reached Richmond to call Mary up. This speedy motion might have been unbecoming the dignity of a deputy to so august a body as the General Convention. After supper Wednesday I played bridge with Mary against Fred & the imperishable Miss Bettie Clark. You must tell Rena I found Aunt Bouser and paid her a short visit. She did express in most unqualified terms her disapproval of Rena’s matrimonial plans., 1907 Oct 4

Letter signed T.K. Skinker, Richmond, Virginia, to wife, St. Louis. The Convention held no session on Saturday, the day being devoted to the trip to Williamsburg. The official party consisted of the visiting bishops, a lot of home bishops, and a delegation of two from each of the thirteen states. I came across a good many people I knew or made the acquaintance of—Rev. Randolph McKim, Mrs. Leftwich, Minnie Carter, Miss Triplett, Mrs. Moore of Rochester, N.Y., one Florence Cabell, Mrs. Cabell formerly Nannie Endres. I went down to Williamsburg with Lev, Fannie & Parson Fauntleroy. . . . Mary had some sort of operation performed last spring which was unsuccessful. Fred has a strange ailment—a sort of paralysis of the throat. I received a letter from Dr. Schwarz describing Bella’s condition., 1907 Oct 6

Letter signed T.K. Skinker, St. Louis, to wife, Rochester, Minnesota. Arrived at last in the good old city of St. Louis about on time. I called up Elizabeth and Jane and gave them the last word from Bella, which they in turn gave out to several friends. I found a letter from Mary in which she said: “Fred and I agreed that you had every right to be a proud grandfather. They are such pretty babies.” I have found out why both the Mayos took part in the operation on Bella., 1907 Nov 28

Letter signed T.K. Skinker, St. Louis, to wife, Rochester, Minnesota. News of Bella. I thought I might as well call up and congratulate Mr. McCluney on his 50 years of service in the state and State National Bank. Nancy is slowly gaining in her vocabulary. A letter from Billy Napton announced that Charlie had lately died in the state hospital at St. Joseph., 1907 Dec 1

Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. I enclose a clipping, from which I infer that I will have nothing to do as Examiner til January. It seems to mean that instead of calling witnesses to prove that the railroad books show the government will be allowed to put experts to work. I was re-elected president of the Law Library Association. Charlie seems to feel that things are coming this way. He has recently gotten two appointments on street opening commissions., 1907 Dec 3

Letter signed Alex R. Skinker, Kansas City, to Mother, St. Louis. It is a great pleasure living with Doug. This last week I have had a pretty hard time. Three out of six of my operators (at A.T. & T.) quit at once. They were sore over some changes I made and walked out. I have started going to Grace Church with Doug. I have had no time to meet people yet except in the most casual way., 1909 Apr 18
