MR. EDITOR--I wish to inquire for my son, who I left in the care of a woman at Bolivar, Tenn., by the name of Ferry Thompson, who used to live at Moscow, Tenn. His name was Clayton Lewalen; his at that time was between nine and ten years; if living now he will be about 30 years old this coming June. I have not heard from him since I left him. When we returned from the trip through Mississippi I went to the place where I left him; and since I have made all the inquiries I thought necessary all over the country. If any information can be given please address Mr. Lewis Lewalen, Connersville, Fayette county, Ind.
