MR. EDITOR: I read in your issue of the SOUTHWESTERN, May 23, the inquiry of Mr. W. C. Temple- ton, of No. 75 Donferth avenue, Jersey City, N. J., of the where- abouts of my friend Mr. James Harris and his estimable wife, Mrs. Rachel Harris. We lived with them in St. Louis, Mo., in 1869 and 1870. I also was with him steamboating from St. Louis to St. Paul, Minn., and Memphis, Tenn. He was steward of some of the finest boats on the Mississippi. If he would write in care of the St. Paul African Methodist Epis- copal Church (I do not know the pastor's name), St. Louis Mo., he will no doubt find them if living.
