Oxford, Nov. 15th, 1878.

Editor SOUTHWESTERN:

I wish to inquire through your paper for my father. His name is Valentine Thomas. He used to belong to a man by the name of Y. P. King. The last I heard of him he was living with a man by the name of Dr. Holmes, Robroy, Jefferson county, Ark. He is a minister of the Baptist Church. Any information as to his whereabouts will be thankfully received. Please address me at Oxford, Miss. Yours respectfully, JAS. THOMAS.
