MR. EDITOR––I wish to find my
sister Francis. We all belonged
to the Austins, at Chillicote, Mis-
souri [Missouri]. My mother was Cloa, she
came to her death by hanging her-
self [herself]. There were three children of
us, brother Amos, sister Francis
and myself, Caroline. Sister Fran-
cis [Francis] was sold about 26 or 27 years
ago to a speculator by the name of
Bess. She had one child when
sold. She was a bright mulatto. I
was sold to the same speculator a
short time after she was and
brought South. Address me at
Muskogee, Indian Territory, box
156. CAROLINE HOLLOWAY.
