DEAR EDITOR-- I wish to inquire for my sister, Elizabeth Harter. We belonged to W. W. Harter. Before the war we lived in Marengo Co., Alabama. The last time I saw her was in Marengo county in 1855. I left there then and moved to Jackson county, Mississippi. I wrote Mr. W.W. Harter, our former owner, and he wrote me that sister had moved to Memphis, Tenn., and had married a Mr. Hallam. Address me at Moss Point, Jackson Co., Miss. ROBERT HOWARD.
