DULUTH, MINN., Jan. 17, 1921.
Mr. Chas E. Vasaly, Superintendent,

Minnesota State Reformatory,

Saint Cloud, Minnesota.

My dear Mr. Vasaly:-- Carl Hammerberg. #5148
The address given in your letter of January 12th was incorrect regarding Carl Hammerberg, #5148. We finally located Mrs. Hammerberg as 431 N. 60th Ave West. This accounts for the delay in answer.
Alfred, the father of Carl Hammerberg, was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in Stillwater. He was pardoned after he had served about fifteen years and returned to Sweden. Mrs. Hammerberg has been virtually a widow for the past eighteen years. She has been forced to not only care for herself but to care for her two children. She is a practical nurse but her work is not at all steady. They pay eleven dollars a month rent. The home is neat but poorly furnished.
Mrs. Isaacson, Carl’s sister, states that Carl has been very good to his mother and had contributed towards her support when necessary.
The Associated Charities have known Mandus Isaacson Carl’s brother-in-law, since 1915. He did not support his first wife properly and their children were made wards of the state and then given out for adoption. Mrs. Isaacson is now pregnant but is reluctant to swear out a warrant for her husband’s arrest.
Mrs. Isaacson is in need of assistance and we were very glad to have the case brought to our attention. Please advise us if you care for any further report on this case.
Yours very truly,
C G Durgin
CGD/B Secrectary.
