DULUTH, MINN., March. 3, 1921.

Subject: Hammerberg. 5148.
Mr. Charles E. Vasaly,

Sup. Minnesota State Reformatory,

Saint Cloud, Minn.

Dear Mr. Vasaly:

Mrs. Isaacson, sister of Carl Hammerberg, gave birth to twins last week. Both babies have died and we are assisting the family temporarily. Mrs. Isaacson has sworn out a warrant for her husband and we believe that he will soon be arrested.

Now that Mrs. Isaacson has been confined and will soon be able to care for herself, I am sure there is no cause for Mr. Hammerberg to worry.

Yours very truly,

C G Durgin.
