Duluth, Minn

Mr. F. A. Whittier

Dear Sir

I wrote to you fore (sic) permition (sic) to move about ten day’s ago and waited fore (sic) answer until yesterday, the folks I was staying with got word that some of there relation was comming (sic) and so I had to move. I went to the Court House and saw Mr. Resche and he told me the only thing I could do was to moove (sic) and write you at once. But this place



does not suit me as I have to pay too much rent six dollars a week is more than I can pay. I would like to have permition (sic) to moove (sic) as soon as I can find a cheaper place.
Very truly yours
Gilbert H Stephenson
