Letter signed Alex R. Skinker, East Orange, New Jersey, to mother. By the way, I have not heard whether any decision has been reached in Brud’s suit for damages against the World’s Fair Company. I hope Izzie’s operation has made her feel much better. I don’t see how you could have refrained from telling Cousin Mary her real condition, and if you did I wonder if it occurred to her to contrast her own complaining with sister’s fortitude. In this six months I have really seen little of New York., 1910 Apr 30

Letter signed A[lex] R. S[kinker], East Orange, New Jersey, to mother. I am greatly surprised at your account of Mr. Binnington’s conduct. I hope for the sake of the parish that Mr. B. will soon go elsewhere. Last Saturday I went down to Ellis Island and saw several hundred Russian Poles, Hungarians, Swedes, Italians, Germans, etc. . . . The system is so perfect and the men who handle it so skilled that it takes a remarkably short time to dispose of a shipload. . . . The camaraderie among the employees of the A.T. & T. Co. is a very pleasant feature. Randall Hayt, who is to marry Peggy Cabell, is an old classmate of mine., 1910 May 18

Letter signed Alexander Rives Skinker, East Orange, New Jersey, to mother. I suppose by this time work has been started on the house.
