IN SEARCH OF HIS FATHER
We have been requested to pub-
lish the following:
"Lewis James, son of Gabriel
James, will be happy to hear from
his mother Lucy, or either his
brothers, Washington and Richard.
The Mother, it is supposed, lives on
one of Judge Perkin's farms, called
the Homestead, Briar mede and
back land. The brothers, it is
thought, reside in New Orleans.
An uncle, Daniel Armstrong, a
Methodist preacher, also formerly
lived in New Orleans. Lewis James
left before the war. He has resided
some time in Jersey City, and is
now sick in the Charity Hospital.
Should the Postmaster (Col. Lowell)
be able to convey the information
to any of the parties named, he will
confer a great favor on Lewis James.
A letter addressed to my care will
be immediately conveyed to Lewis
James."
Respectfully,
W. VERRINDER.
