r which the board of lady managers are entitled to
make nominations are the ones you desire in these particular
groups, they will be entertained for confirmation, but it may be
you will desire to readjust your list.

Very respectfully,

D.R. FRANCIS,

MRS. DANIEL MANNING,
_President Board Lady Managers._

AUGUST 9, 1904.

DEAR SIR: In response to your letter received August 8, in
relist of nominations for the women jurors made by the board of
lady managers, I beg leave to state that said list was made
under what the board believed to be the interpretation of
section 6 of the act of Congress approved March 3, 1901, which
would seem to provide for the appointment of "one member of all
committees authorized to award prizes for such exhibits as may
have been produced in whole or in part by female labor."

We regret exceedingly that "in the discretion of said commission
and corporation" referred to in said act, the list of groups has
been reduced from 83 to 32.

We respectfully ask, however, that a favorable consideration may
be given to four additional groups, viz: No. 125, Literature;
No. 126, Somatology; No. 127, Ethnology, and No. 128,
Ethnography. These groups have been specially designated by the
chief of the Department of Anthropology, the names of nominees
submitted are those approved by him, and it is most desirable
that this request be granted.

We herewith hand you revised list, readjusted as per your
instructions.

Respectfully submitted.

FRANCES MARION HANGER,
_Chairman on Committee of Awards_.

Hon. DAVID R. FRANCIS,
_President Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company_.
