To the Mayor and
Aldermen of the City of Ely,
Ely, Minnesota.
Gentlemen:
Because of real need I am respect
fully asking your honorable body t
allow me more work than has bee
heretofore given me in any employ
ment for the City.
It is well known to many Of yo
that since the time of the annexatio
election 1 have been practically barre
from any sort of mining work, and fc
that reason it has been abSolutel
necessary for me to turn to the cit
for employment. Because of my &C
tivity for the City at time when
was necessary to have the cooperatio
of those people living outside of El
to bring about the annexation, I fe,
that 1 am entitled to something MOI
than usual consideration. My circun
stances are such that I need ten da!
a month to live on and to meet certai
very urgent obligations, and I sincers
ly trust that you will kindly favor n
at this time of real need
Thanking you, am,
Respectfully yours,
