Mr. Editor - I have a brother who was sold in the South before the war. I learned a week or ten days ago that he had been seen in New Orleans. His name is Marshall Grandison, but I suppose he goes by the name of his old master. We were servants of one William S. Carter, of Louisa county, Virginia. Brother was a cart boy on the York River railroad before the war, and there is where Wm. S. Carter sold him, and he never returned home. I learn that he is going by the name Marshall Carter. We are the children of Charles and Lucy Grandison. Address Emanuel Grandison, box 25, Martin's Ferry, Ohio. [I think you will find him, or of him, by writing to some one in the North Carolina Conference. - Ed]
