J. J. Sullivan, Warden,
State Prison,
Stillwater.

Dear Sir:
Enclosed find letter from Max Mason, which is self-explanatory. He states that he desires to pay $50 to he lawyer now, and if he is successful he is to pay $200 more. It seems to us that $200 is too much. His lawyer is R. C. McCullough, 906 E. 3^rd St., Duluth.
Will you kindly take the matter up with this man and ascertain whether he ahs a letter from this lawyer as to what service he will give him and what his charges will be.
If in you judgment, this man is to be allowed to send $50 now to his attorney, will you so recommend to the Board of Control. Otherwise have his name placed on the calendar of the Board of Control for its next meeting.

Yours very truly,

C. J. Swendsen
Chairman.
