He shall, on the twentieth day of each month, until his final release write the Warden of said State Prison a report of himself, stating whether he has been constantly at work during the last month, and if not, why not; how much he has earned, and how much he has expended, together with a general statement as to his surroundings and prospects, which report must be endorsed by his employer.
4. He shall in all respects conduct himself honestly, avoid evil associations, obey the law, and abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors.
5. As soon as possible, after reaching his destination, he shall report to Mr. Lounsberry , show him this parole, and at once enter upon the employment provided for him.
6. He shall, while on parole, remain in the legal custody and under the control of said State Board of Parole.
7. He shall be liable to be retaken and again confined within the enclosure of said state Prison for any reason that shall be satisfactory to the State Board of Parole, and at their sole discretion, until he receives written notice from the Warden that his final release has been ordered.
8. He shall under no circumstances, contract marriage while on Parole, without first obtaining the consent of the State Board of Parole in writing.

The management of said State Prison has a lively interest in the subject of this parole, and he need not fear or hesitate to freely communicate with the Warden in case he loses his situation; or becomes unable to labor by reason of sickness or other disability.
