<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>DEAR EDITOR: I desire to inquire for my brothers James and Rufus. Rufus I left on the Franklin pike, about seven miles from Louisville, Ky., with Sherman's army. He was in the 30th Indiana regiment, third division, 14th army corps, and waiting on Capt. Jordan. I think the Captain lives in Indianapolis. Rufus belonged to Jack Mound, in Jonesboro, Ga. He had three brothers and one sister, Ella, Isaac, Ben, and James. Father was Thomas Allen, who belonged to Matilda Allen, a widow. James Allen left Chattanooga in 1860, for Atlanta, Ga., and I have not heard from him since. I suppose he went out West.
