Mr. Editor-I desire to find my brother; his name was Robert Co- field. He left me in True county, Ga., in 1851. He belonged to Col. Willis Cofield, and went to Cham- bers county, Ala., with our young master, Dock Cofield, in 1852; he left there for Arkansas. Our moth- er was named Lettie Cofield; my name was Mahallah, but they al- ways called me Puss, for short. I got a letter from him in 1870; his postoffice was then Magnolia, Ark. We had a half brother, Sandy, and a half sister, Kitty. Our step- father was Joe Cofield. We lived ten miles west of LaGrange, True county, Ga. I remember that brother Robert got his forehead split open with an iron wedge, splitting rails for a Mr. Joe Greene, at night, and he will be known by the scar on his forehead. I will be obliged to all the readers of this valuable paper, especially the min- isters of Arkansas, in helping me find my brother, Robert Cofield. I have a good start in this world, and would like to find my brother. It may be that my brother has gone back to Tennesse or to Alabama. I will be under obligations to any one who can assist me in finding him. Please address me at Bren- ham, Texas, care of my husband, Thomas J. Escoe, or Rev. W. H. Jackson, pastor, Brenham Texas. MAHALLAH ESCOE.
