DULUTH HOSPITAL
D. GRAHAM, M. D., PRESIDENT

WEST DULUTH, MINN., Aug. 27, 1921 19

Mr. J. J. Sullivan, Warden

Stillwater Prison
Stillwater, Minn.,

Dear Sir:
Am writing you in regard to one of the inmates, Louis Dondino, whom I have known for some years as a hard working young man.

He was convicted under the supposition, that he was implicated in the lynching of three negroes in this city, in June 1920, following a supposed rape case.

We who know him feel that he was not at least directly guilty, and that if he were paroled, he would make a good law abiding citizen.

Respectfully Yours,

D. Graham
