5148-Hammerberg June 27, 1922



Mrs. Betsy Hammerberg,
431 North 60th Avenue West,
Duluth, Minnesota.

Dear Madam:

In answer to your letter to Mr. Vasaly of June 24th, please be advised that before we would be permitted to send you son home it would be necessary for him to have employment and for us to have a letter from the man who is to employ him. I am today writing to Rev. Carl J. Silfversten, Pastor, Bethel Lutheran Church, asking him if he is willing to assist you in getting employment.

Very truly yours,

K-d State Parole Agent
