November 26th-1922
Hammerberg-#5148

C J Swendsen, Chairman,
State Board of Parole,
Saint Paul, Minnesota

Dear Sir:-
I have called on Carl Hammerberg-#5148 on parole from the Saint Cloud Reformatory at his home at 431 No 60 Av W., Duluth, and his employer Mr Hutter of the Minnesota Steel Company, who speaks very well of him. Hammerberg claims he left Mr Thompson his former employer because he would not let him go home on Sunday. I believe he will come out OK.

Respectfully yours,

H B Whittier
hbw/ State Parole Agent
