Letter signed T.K. Skinker, St. Louis, to wife, Biloxi. Bella absolutely refuses to substitute for Bertha at Biloxi. I am satisfied that a main reason is that it would suspend the operations of the Junior Aux., Mrs. Brown being on the point of departure from the city. Her husband, the doctor, has had an advantageous offer to go to Peoria, Ills., and has accepted it. I hope it will not turn out as poor Boughton’s removal did., 1917 Feb 10

Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. Aleck is to go to the Armory where he is to be O.D. (officer of the day) for 12 hours, or until 7 o’clock tomorrow morning. Then to work at his new factory, 1012 Market St. If the other officers of the First are as diligent at Aleck, it will be a crack regiment. Doris is in town. She will miss out on seeing much of him; but I suppose that will suit her new beau, whether it suits her or not. We had a good congregation today, to listen to a good sermon from Bp. Johnson. Mrs. Herf is to be home next Wed. in satisfactory condition., 1917 Feb 11

Typescript letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. Problems with furnace repair. Contributions to the church pension fund. Besides William Donaldson’s $1,000, the other members of our parish have contributed about $700. The rumor is that the $5,000,000 has been over-subscribed and that the fund now amounts to about $5,200,000. But after all, this is no great things., 1917 Feb 22
