INFORMATION WANTED.
HENNY BUTLER, a colored woman, residing
at Cumberland, in Maryland, desires information concerning
the present residence of her daughter FRANCES,
who went with Doctor Lawrence 7 years ago to
Natchez, Mississippi; from which place she was afterwards
removed to New Orleans.
Her letters from New Orleans reach her mother:—
but, as the daughter's proper address in New Orleans
is not known, the mother's letters have never been received.
If this should meet the eye of her present master, he
will please write to Henny Butler, Cumberland, (Md)
or get Frances to write, giving the proper address in
New Orleans, to enable the daughter to recieve letters
from her mother. aug12 8td&1ltW
