Gentlemen: Having observed the work of Mrs. Elizabeth R. Wheaton as a prison evangelist, I most cheerfully recommend her to your kind consideration and co-operation. Her presence is a benediction, and her work is in no sense subversive of good discipline, but, on the other hand, is most healthful and helpful. Fraternally yours, THEO. D. KANOUSE, Warden of South Dakota Penitentiary. * * * * * Warden's Office. The Anamosa Penitentiary. Anamosa, Iowa, Oct. 8, 1894.
