5148-Hammerberg June 27, 1922
Rev. Carl J.
Silfversten, Pastor,
Bethel Lutheran Church,
Duluth,
Minnesota.
Dear Sir:
Carl Hammerberg, our No. 5148, was granted a
parole at the June meeting of the Board of Parole. I understand that you are
interested in this young man. I am in receipt of a letter from his mother
stating that she would like to have him come home, but before he can be
permitted to leave the Institution it will be necessary for him to have
employment and for us to have a letter from the prospective employer stating
that he is willing to employ him under the following rules:
Men on
parole from the Minnesota State Reformatory are not
permitted to use
intoxicating liquor in any form.
Neither are they 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 final discharge from parole.
Anything you can do
to assist in securing employment for Hammerberg will be appreciated. On receipt
of a favorable letter from you and one from the prospective employer, I will
make arrangements for him to report for work.
Very truly
yours.
K-d State Parole Agent
