MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY
690 Cedar Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 221-6126

State Reformatory for Men

Attention: Mr. Jerome V. Lahr
Record’s Supervisor
Dear Mr. Lahr:
Your letter regarding Darrel Nicholson was received by the Library, and after checking all departments of the Society and our personnel files, I find that he has no association with this Society. He is listed in the University of Minnesota student directory as an education Major.
If you care to pursue it further, you might request the name of his supervisor and subject of his research; or, just say that your files for that period are closed to the public due to the confidential nature of the files.
Sincerely yours,

Patricia Harpole
(Mrs.) Patricia Harpole
Head, Reference Division
