Alexandria Gazette (Alexandria, VA)
December 10, 1900
INFORMATION WANTED. Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 4 To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette: My Dear Sir: - I am very anxious to find out the whereabouts of Benjamin Harris, colored. Benjamin was a true and faithful servant of mine prior to the war between the States and my most trusted friend during the four years of war. He was with me on the battlefield, and in the hospital always by my side. He was with me to the last, and did not leave me for 12 months after the close of the war. The last I heard of him he was in the neighborhood of Alexandria, Va. If through your paper, or any other source, you can find out his whereabouts and send me his address, I will ever be grateful to you. A. B. Carter, Captain of Co. F, 6th Va. cavalry.
