Rev. Bishop W. F. Mallalieu, I write you this letter to see if you could help me to find my long lost sister whose name was Maria Green, and who was sold from the jail of Leesburge, Loudon Co., Va., to New Orleans about twenty-eight years ago; she was 20 years of age. Our mother, Nancy Green was sold to Richmond, Va., at the same time. Maria Green belonged to John Littleton, of Leesburge, Londoun Co., Va., and she had two sisters and one brother, whose names are Ann Valentine, Mahala J. Harvey and Isaac Green. Will you please read this in all the colored churches in New Orleans. I have written two letters and never received an answer. I hope you will try and help me to find my long lost sister. I remain yours truly, Mrs. Mahala J. Harvey, Irene Loudon Co., Va.
