DEAR EDITOR— I wish to inquire for my brother Abraham Stewart. He went off with the Yankees in 1863 from Louisiana. He is a son of Ned and Rutha Stewart. We belonged to Robert Malloy in Louisiana and Abraham was the oldest of eight children. He is about forty years old. I heard he went to Missouri. I will pay ten dollars to the finder of him. Address me at Williamsburg, Lavaca county, Texas. WASHINGTON STEWART.
