President Roosevelt apologizes to David R. Francis, President of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, because he does not think he will be able to attend the World’s Fair. He had hoped to go together with Senator Charles W. Fairbanks, but official duties now make this an impossibility. Roosevelt thanks Francis for the work he has done.
