Letter from William H. Taft to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from William H. Taft to Theodore Roosevelt

Secretary of War Taft jokingly tells President Roosevelt that he was unaware that the president had received a medal of honor from the Philippines Exposition of the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair and that the president is of now the same class as Taft’s wife Helen and everyone on the Philippine Islands. Taft says he could not have stopped Dr. Gustav Niederlein’s reckless awarding of medals and would be glad to talk to Roosevelt about it later.

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.
