<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>MR. EDITOR: I read in your issue
of the SOUTHWESTERN, May 23,
the inquiry of Mr. W. C. Temple-
ton, of No. 75 Donferth avenue,
Jersey City, N. J., of the where-
abouts of my friend Mr. James
Harris and his estimable wife,
Mrs. Rachel Harris. We lived
with them in St. Louis, Mo., in
1869 and 1870. I also was with
him steamboating from St. Louis
to St. Paul, Minn., and Memphis,
Tenn. He was steward of some of
the finest boats on the Mississippi.
If he would write in care of the
St. Paul African Methodist Epis-
copal Church (I do not know the
pastor's name), St. Louis Mo., he
will no doubt find them if living.

<p>MR. EDITOR: I read in your issue<br />of the SOUTHWESTERN, May 23,<br />the inquiry of Mr. W. C. Temple-<br />ton [Templeton], of No. 75 Donferth avenue,<br />Jersey City, N. J., of the where-<br />abouts [whereabouts] of my friend Mr. James<br />Harris and his estimable wife,<br />Mrs. Rachel Harris. We lived<br />with them in St. Louis, Mo., in<br />1869 and 1870. I also was with<br />him steamboating from St. Louis<br />to St. Paul, Minn., and Memphis,<br />Tenn. He was steward of some of<br />the finest boats on the Mississippi.<br />If he would write in care of the <br />St. Paul African Methodist Epis-<br />copal [Episcopal] Church (I do not know the<br />pastor's name), St. Louis Mo., he<br />will no doubt find them if living.</p>

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>MR. EDITOR—I desire to inquire
of the whereabouts of my kin peo-
ple [people], whom I left in Wake county,
North Carolina. Father's name
was Ned Stephenson; mother's,
Charlotte; four brothers, John,
Deork, Jarrett and Henderson. We
all belonged to Bob Young, of Rol-
lia [Rollia], a little town in Wake Co, N.
C. I fell to John Young, of the
same family. John sold me to a
negro trader below Rollia. My
mother belonged to Muddy Springs
Baptist Church when I left there.
The preacher's name was George
Nance. I had two cousins, Jerry
Snerling and Wilson Sams, Jarr-
et [Jarret] and Deork were not of the same
father as John and I. Their fath-
er's [father's] name was Henry Leech. Broth-
er [Brother] Jarret fell to Miss C. Young, as
well as I can remember; it was
about the year 1835 when I was
sold. If found will confer a favor
that cannot be repaid by address-
ing [addressing] me at San Felipe, Texas, in

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>DEAR EDITOR—I wish to inquire for a nephew, of whom I have not heard in two years. The last I heard of him he wrote a letter to me at Allen P. O, La.; but at the time he wrote I was in New Orleans, going to school at Straight University, so I did not get his letter until I came back. I wrote immediately to Plaqueminne P. O , where he said he was; but I failed to receive any answer, and his mother and grandmother are much grieved about him. We have written several times to Plaqueminne P. O., Iberville parish. His mother's name is Frances Mack ; grandmother's, Hannah Lewis. All his relatives are here at Allen except one brother and sister, Daniel E Brown and Charlotte Crenchnalle, who are at Louisville, Kentucky. He was a tall, spare-made fellow, light complected, and had a very favorable countenance, and was about 20 years of age. My father's name is Wm Price; he and mother separated during the war. Write to me at Allen, Natchitoches parish, La.
D J. PRICE.
