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. I reckon by the time I get home for a visit I won’t recognize the old place at all. . . . Saw Terry Allen. You know he has been living in Tennessee for several years, is president of a bank, a telephone company, and has a finger in I don’t know how many other pies., 1910 June 20

Letter signed T.K. Skinker, St. Louis, to wife, Fish Creek, Wisconsin. Here I was interrupted to give a check to Godfrey Hirsch for work done in July, amounting to $3740. This is a large payment for one month, accounted for by the great amount of brick work done in July., 1910 Aug 16

Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. I am very much distressed about little Keith’s condition. If I were in Elizabeth’s place I would not hesitate about bringing her home. More description of progress on house at 6464 Ellenwood. I spoke to Jane about the lot. Claude is ready to build a house to cost $15,000. He leaves it to Jane to say whether it shall be built or not. She hesitates on account of the need the firm has for money., 1910 Aug 21

Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. More specifications for house. Walter Woodward and his friends are pushing the improvement of the Thomas tract vigorously. They are making streets and building sewers at a great rate. Mr. Brecht, one of the party, is said to be ready to begin building. Jay Smith has not begun yet. I attended Judge Klein’s funeral today. The doctor’s certificate said cancer [was the cause of death]. I do not think he knew this., 1910 Aug 25
