Duluth, Minnesota
February 19, 1921.

To The Board of Pardons of the State of Minnesota,

Gentlemen:
I beg leave to state that Gilbert H. Stephenson, lately sentenced to Stillwater for an alleged participation in a riot that occurred last June, was in my employ for nearly two years, and that I always found him to be a reliable man, morally upright and of good repute. I beleive (sic) that a great injustice was done him in bringing in a verdict of guilty in his case.
I therefor (sic) pray that your honorable body grant him an unconditional pardon, which I beleive (sic) to be the wish of the majority of the people of St. Louis County.
Yours respectfully,

Geo H. Lounsberry
