Letter signed T.K. Skinker, Richmond, Virginia, to wife, St. Louis. I communicated with Mary and found her at home. Today I visited Carleton in a pouring rain & found, of course, many changes. But I also found those garden terraces still standing., 1911 Nov 6

Letter signed T.K. Skinker, Sweetwater, Texas, to wife, 6464 Ellenwood, St. Louis. This place is called Sweetwater because there is a sweet water in a creek three miles from here and quite beyond the reach of the good people of this burg. At this hotel we drink cistern water because the water from the city waterworks is “gyppy.” I expect to be in Dallas tomorrow morning, and will spend the day there with Eck., 1911 Dec 8

Letter signed Alexander Rives Skinker, Little Rock, Arkansas, to mother, St. Louis. This summer when I visited at Harbor Point I met a girl who was also visiting Billy Marrierre. . . . Unfortunately, however, she lives in Bloomington, Illinois. What I want you to do is ask her to come and visit us in St. Louis for a couple of days following Christmas. This may sound like a very strange arrangement to you to have a girl coming to see me. . . . Is this too much of a new fashioned idea for you? Her name is Doris N. Rinehart., 1911 Dec 13

Letter signed Alexander Rives Skinker, Dallas, to mother. I am so glad you and the rest of the family approve of Doris. I should never want to marry without the approval of all of you (except the ones whose approval I would never have unless I married a barrel of money). It touches me very deeply that father has been so willing to help me in the venture with Doug., 1912 Jan 19
