DULUTH, MINN.,

Jan. 24, 1921.
Mr. Charles E. Vasaly,

Supt. Minn. State Reformatory,

Saint Cloud, Minnesota.

My dear Mr. Vasaly: Hammerberg 5148

Mrs. Hammerberg, mother of Carl Hammerberg, has secured a position at the Klearflax Rug Company and is now earning $18.00 a week. Last Saturday we took Mrs. Isaacson to a doctor and made partial arrangements for her confinement. She also swore out a warrant charging her husband with desertion and nonsupport.

Mrs. Hammerberg feels that it will be possible for her to get along under the present arrangement providing Mrs. Isaacson is cared for during confinement. I am wondering if it would advisable to see how the present plan works out before applying for a County Allowance.

We would appreciated any suggestion you can make in the matter and would advise you of any developments in the case.
Yours very truly,

C G Durgin

CGD*C SEC’Y.
