5148-Hammerberg June 29, 1922


Mr. A. Tulla Postmaster,
Sax, Minnesota.

Dear Sir:

I am in receipt of a letter from Mr. C. J. Johnson relative to his nephew Carl Hammerberg, our No. 5148. This young man was granted a parole at a meeting of the Board of Parole held at this institution June 1st and his uncle offers to give him employment. The rules of the board of Parole are that when a man is employed by one of his relatives someone outside the family must countersign the monthly reports, a copy of which I enclose.

The rules governing men paroled from this institution are as follows:

They are not permitted to use intoxicating liquor in any form.
They are not permitted to leave or change their places of
employment without written permission from the Superintendent of
from this office.
They are required to make two reports on the twentieth of each
month, one to the Superintendent and one to the State Agent, State

Capitol, St. Paul, Minnesota. Blanks for this purpose are furnished by the Institution.

The employer is expected to sign these reports and to report at

once any misconduct on the part of the young man, using the wire at our expense should it be deemed necessary.

Men are kept on parole at least one year before they are eligible to

make application for discharge from parole.

If you are willing to countersign the reports for this man, will you please write me, using the enclosed envelope, and as soon as I hear from you I will make arrangements for the young man to report for work.

Thanking you for giving this matter your attention, I remain

Very truly yours.

K-d
State Parole Agent
