March 16, 1921.

Mr. Bert N. Wheeler,

619 Providence Building,
Duluth, Minnesota.

My dear Sir:
Acknowledgement is made of your communication of the 15th with reference to Gilbert H. Stephenson, now an inmate of the Minnesota State Prison.
Yours is one of the perhaps fifty or sixty odd communications of this nature I have received and at the present time Mr. Stephenson has no application before this Board. It absolutely necessary to make a formal application in order to secure a hearing and it may be Mr. Stephenson intends to do this.
Should Mr. Stephenson file this application your statement with the others will be placed before the members of the Board for their consideration.
Thank you very much for writing us.
Very truly yours,


Clerk of the Pardon Board
