Dear Sir:
The Executive Committee in charge of the Negro Exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition, desires to announce that Doctors A. M. Curtis, W. A. Warfield, G. C. Hall, R. F. Boyd and J. J. France, who are serving as a special committee to supervise the medical exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition are serving without compensation in any form, and that no promises of compensation or emoluments of any nature have been made to any member of the committee.
The statements published in your paper recently, implicating that the services of these physicians had been attained for money consideration, is entirely without foundation, and is calculated, if not corrected, to do these gentlemen serious injustice. We would thank you to give publicity to this statement.
Respectfully, Thos J. Calloway, Chair. Executive Com.
