Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Ambassador Reid updates President Roosevelt on his recent interactions with the Grocers’ Federation Associations of the United Kingdom. The group requested that Roosevelt send a dispatch clarifying that canned American meat sent to foreign markets has always been carefully inspected, as half a million dollars worth of American tinned meats has become “dead stock” due to the recent agitation. Reid recommended they contact Secretary of Commerce and Labor Victor Howard Metcalf or Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson instead. Reid also mentions a letter he received from Sir Edward Grey expressing support for the proposal of a reduction of armaments in Russia.

Letter from Joseph Ralph Burton to Theodore Roosevelt

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.
