Letter from Joseph Ralph Burton to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Burton encloses a letter and clippings from the Kansas City Journal, regarding the Jerusalem Exhibit Company which plans to construct a replica of Jerusalem for the upcoming world’s fair in St. Louis. Burton had previously asked President Roosevelt for an endorsement of the project, which he provided; and in accord with a later request, the President’s name is not being used in any way by the company. What appeared in the newspapers was not authorized by the current leadership, which includes W. A. Stubbs, a railway contractor from Lawrence, Kansas, as president, Kansas state senator John Carpenter as treasurer, J. B. Case as vice president, and William D. Miles as manager.
