MR. EDITOR-- I wish to inquire for my wife and children. Wife's name was Nancy. She used to belong to Matison Gunn, in Chicka-Co., Miss., and he sold her to R. D. Dick Price in 1862, and he sold her and children on Flint Creek, in Ga. I had by my wife five children, John, Reuben and Matt. I ask all the preachers to read this in their churches, and if they are found write to me at Moss Point, Jackson Co., Miss., in care of Rev. N. Cannon. LEWIS WRIGHT
