Ely, Minnesota, July 18th, 1888. :
To the Mayor and

Ely, Minnesota.
Gentlemen:
Because of real need am respect
fully asking your honorable body to
allow me more work than has been
heretofore given me in any employ
ment for the City.
1t is well known to many of you
that since the time of the annexation
election 1 have been practically barred
from any sort of mining work, and for
that reason it has been absolutely
necessary for me to turn to the city
for employment Because of my ac-
tivity for the City at time when it
was necessary to have the cooperation
of those people living outside of Ely
to bring about the annexation, feel
that I am entitled to something more
than usual consideration. My circum-
stances are such that need ten days
a month to live on and to meet certain
very urgent obligations. and I sincere
