DULUTH, MINN., Aug 26 1921

Mr. J. J. Sullivan, Warden

Stillwater, Minn

My Dear sir:-
I understand that Mr Louis Dondino who is confined in your Institution has made application for Parole.
I have known Louis for a number of years and can not say anything but good of him. He is a sober, industrious, hard working man and bears a good reputation in our city.
He was into one of those unfortunate affairs which could hardly be avoided.
I feel confident that if Louis was place on parole he would not abuse said parole and would live an honorable life here after.
It gives me pleasure to add my name among others who are willing to give Louis a helping hand, should the Board see fit to place him on parole.
Yours Very Truly
J. W. Allen
Jailor St. Louis Co.
