I wish to say that Mother Wheaton, who has from time to time visited the Colorado State Penitentiary, has been the means, I believe, of accomplishing much good with the inmates of this institution. Her earnest efforts and kind, motherly advice have instilled in the hearts of the prisoners an apparent desire to be better men. I certainly most earnestly commend her to the kindly care of those whom she may meet. JOHN CLEGHORN, Warden Colorado State Penitentiary. * * * * * South Dakota Penitentiary. Sioux Falls, S. D., March 12, 1904. Mrs. E. R. Wheaton, 612 E St., Elkhart, Ind. Dear Madam: I take this opportunity of thanking you for the visit made to this institution some time ago. Your work among the prisoners has had good effect in more ways than one. A number of the inmates have told me that your encouraging and Christian talk to them has helped them and that they are trying to live Christian lives and that by the help of God they expect this to be their last term in prison. Hoping that you may be able to visit this institution again, I am, Yours truly, O. S. SWENSON, Warden. * * * * * South Dakota Penitentiary. Sioux Falls, S. D., June 5, 1905. To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify that Mother Wheaton, the bearer of this letter, has visited the South Dakota Penitentiary in the capacity of a missionary. I am glad of the opportunity to say that she is doing much good to those unfortunate enough to be placed in an institution of this kind and I heartily commend her work. Very respectfully, H. T. PARMLEY, Warden. * * * * * Nebraska State Penitentiary. Lancaster, Neb., May 22, 1905. Mother Wheaton's visits to this institution always seem to cheer up the inmates and make most of them look forward to better things. They feel that she has a mother's heart for all. A. D.
