Mr. Sullivan,
Regarding Louis Dondino, my brother. I have done as you advised me, and
talked with attorney Lanners from Wes Duluth. He had a talk with assiant (sic)
district attorney Mr. Forbes about Louis. Forbes said he was nutrel (sic) on
Louis’s case, and would leave that to the board to discid (sic). If the
board would deside (sic) to set him
free, he would be satisfied. I was talking to Mr. Lanners last Tursday
(sic) and he would have a talk to the judge, and he was sure he would get the
same answer from him. I made a trip to Duluth some time ago, and had a talk with
some of Louis friends, (business men) and they promised me they would write you
a letter regarding Louis, now I don’t know
if they wrote you or not. I have done all I can do I am sure. My father
and mother are both old people, as you know, and, Louis being where he is, is
sure telling on the old people. We know he is used fine, as every letter we get
from him he says, don’t worry about me, for I am all right. But it is
thinking he is a pisoner (sic), for we are five brothers in
our family, and not one of us, ever was in a jail before. Mr. Sullivan if
you will write me a letter, what the good news is, the old people and myself
will fell better I am sure. We are all thankfull (sic) to you for what you have
done, and for useing (sic) Loius as good as you have.
Yours
Truly
Elza Dondino
