Thomas Henry Carter was surprised to learn of Archibald Stevenson’s objection to the appointment of Mrs. Ernest as “lady commissioner.” Mrs. Ernest had the support of leading citizens, including the Denver postmaster, whom Carter presumed to represent Stevenson. Carter will meet with Stevenson to resolve the matter. The Exposition Company is forming a commission to visit the capitals of Europe, and Carter asks if President Roosevelt has any friends that are well equipped for such work and would enjoy a trip abroad.
