DEAR SIR: The accompanying list of 83 women jurors, to serve on the committee of awards of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, has been made by the board of lady managers and is hereby submitted for approval to the Exposition Company and to the National Commission.

This list has been made according to the authorization granted to the board in section 6 of the acts of Congress approved March 3, 1901, to wit, "To nominate one member of all committees authorized to award prizes for such exhibits as shall have been produced in whole or in part by female labor."

Yours, truly, M. MARGARETTA MANNING, _President._

FRANCES MARION HANGER, _Chairman Committee of Awards._

Hon. DAVID R. FRANCIS, _President Louisiana Purchase Exposition,_ _Administration Building._

AUGUST 4, 1904.

MY DEAR MADAM PRESIDENT: Responding to your communication of July 30, transmitting a list of women jurors and alternate jurors, that you recommend for appointment, and which you submit for approval by the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commission, I beg to state that under the rules and regulations of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company, approved by the National Commission, the board of lady managers may appoint 32 women jurors and women alternate jurors.

As the number of names submitted by you greatly exceeds the number you are permitted to nominate under the rules and regulations above referred to, the list is herewith returned for revision. If the names you have submitted for appointment upon the groups for which the board of lady managers are ent.i.tled to make nominations are the ones you desire in these particular groups, they will be entertained for confirmation, but it may be you will desire to readjust your list.

Very respectfully,

D.R. FRANCIS, _President._

MRS. DANIEL MANNING, _President Board Lady Managers._

AUGUST 9, 1904.

DEAR SIR: In response to your letter received August 8, in relist of nominations for the women jurors made by the board of lady managers, I beg leave to state that said list was made under what the board believed to be the interpretation of section 6 of the act of Congress approved March 3, 1901, which would seem to provide for the appointment of "one member of all committees authorized to award prizes for such exhibits as may have been produced in whole or in part by female labor."

We regret exceedingly that "in the discretion of said commission and corporation" referred to in said act, the list of groups has been reduced from 83 to 32.

We respectfully ask, however, that a favorable consideration may be given to four additional groups, viz: No. 125, Literature; No. 126, Somatology; No. 127, Ethnology, and No. 128, Ethnography. These groups have been specially designated by the chief of the Department of Anthropology, the names of nominees submitted are those approved by him, and it is most desirable that this request be granted.

We herewith hand you revised list, readjusted as per your instructions.

Respectfully submitted.
