MR. EDITOR---I wish to inquire for my relatives, two sisters, Harriet and Mary. I left them in Warsaw, Missouri, in 1863. I got a letter from Harriet in 1869, and I have not heard from her since. Father came to Texas before the war. Mother died when I was a small boy. I heard that brother Jim was killed in Springfield, Mo. Harriet Mary and I belonged to A. Scott, and father to Levi Simpson. They lived in Lafayette county, Missouri. Father's three sisters were Leana, Fannie and Lucy, and three brothers were Jordan, Church and Mason. My boss was killed at Scott. I go by the name of John Simpson. Address me at Floresville, Texas.
