Dear Editor: Mr. Claudie L. Baskett, of Greenwood, Miss., writes asking me to request some of the colored ministers of New Orleans, to inquire from their pulpits, for Mrs. Mary Matilda Isson, one of our old family servants who lives or did live in your city. This is the matter mentioned when meeting you Monday, and which you kindly consented to look into. A kindness to Mrs. Baskett, it will be esteemed a personal favor by Yours truly and fraternally, THOS. R. MARKHAM.
