DEAR EDITOR-- I wish to inquire my brother, Joseph Alexander, formerly called Tody. He is the son of Maria Fisher, who belonged to Dr. David Broadenax. He left here about 1870, and we have not heard from him for eight or nine months. Mother's first owner was one Atkinson, and she then went by the name of Annie Maria. Address me at Belleville, Austin Co, Texas. GEO. H. E. FIELDS.
