DULUTH, MINN.,

August 20th, 1921.

Mr. J. J. Sullivan, Warden,
State Prison, Stillwater, Minnesota.
Dear Sir:
I wish to say a few words for Louis Dondino. Mr. Dondino was a customer of ours for a considerable length of time, before he got into trouble which ended in getting him in the Stillwater prison.
Dondino, while doing business here, was an extremely satisfactory customer in every shape and manner. He paid his bills promptly, he was always gentlmanly (sic) and nice; and if the few words of honest praise that I can write in behalf of this man will help in considering his case, I am certainly glad to do it.
He made a grave mistake, there is no question, but he sure was a fine man to do business with, the years that he came to our place of business.
Thanking you for anything that you may see is proper to do for him.
Yours very truly,
SERVICE MOTOR COMPANY,
By P. K. Priest
PKP/EW President.
