WARRENTON, VA., May 26, 1866. DEAR MADAM, -- At the request of John Jor- dan, a very industrious and energetic freedman

of this place, I have the honor to enclose here-

with, from his own hand, a letter of inquiry in re- lation to the whereabouts of his son, whom he has not seen or heard from since October, 1863. Jor- dan thinks that his son is either in the north- west part of this State, or in the State of North Carolina; and thinks if the Society you represent will publish his letter in the "Freedmen's Record," it may lead to some information in regard to his son. The teachers could give me information in regard to the matter, and I would communicate it to Jordan. I would earnestly appeal to the loyal, self-sacrificing ladies who are at this moment engaged in the great work of civilization and in- tellectual improvement, to make such inquiry as will give to this deserving man the information he so earnestly desires. Respectfully, W. A. MCNULTY, Asst. Supt Freedmen. Miss HANNAH E. STEVENSON, Sec. Com. Teachers New-England Freedmen's and Union Commission.

INFORMATION WANTED. WARRENTON, VA., May 1, 1866. Where is John Jordan, who waited on Captain Throgmorton of the Fairfax cavalry of the con- federate army. I would be glad to gain some information from persons, persons who ac- quainted with this boy. Captain T. hired him of Mrs. F. B. Gibson, of Prince William County, Va., in 1861. He came here in October, 1863. Since that time I have never heard of him, nor Mr. T. Any information will be thankfully re- ceived by his father, John Jordan, in Warrenton, Fauquier County, Va. JOHN JORDAN. May 18, 1866.
