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.”

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 entitled 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.
