Dear Editor--I wish to inquire for my brother, who left us when I was a little girl. I got one letter from him in 1879, from Memphis, Tenn., but my letter did not reach him. His name is Stephen Patton, but sometimes he went by the name of Stephen Stroud. Mother, who is now dead, was Mary Patton. She died August 18, 1880. When he left there were two brother and five sisters, only one married, but now all are married except me. Sister Mary is dead. My home is at Prairie, Coffee county, Tennessee, but I am now at St. Charles, Ky., teaching school. MISS GEORGIA L. PATTON.
