Includes the first letter to Cridler from Carrie Jenkins Harris, a well-connected, politically active author and editor from North Carolina who often wrote under the pseudonym "Charles Edward Lloyd". There are a number of letters from Harris to Cridler found throughout the collection. A regularly appearing theme in her letters is her determination to be appointed as a representative of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition to the country of Greece. Cridler would later describe Harris as a "bombastic newspaper women," and a "hustler" who "talks too much." Yet he would also acknowledge he "esteems her highly." Harris died suddenly on 27 December 1903, aged 56, never having been appointed in any official capacity to the fair.
