Duluth, Minn., Feb. 25, 1921.


Governor I A. O. Preus (sic),
Capitol Building
St. Paul, Minn.

Dear Governor:
Wishing now to call your particular attention to a letter of even date addressed to the Honorable Board of Pardons in behalf of Mr. Gilbert H. Stephanson (sic) who was, to say the most, only one of the unfortunate victims of an equally culpable mob who raided the city lockup June last and hung three negroes under arrest for a statuary crime.
Thanking you in advance for you kind attention, I beg to remain

Yours truly,

Leonidas Merritt
