Mr. Editor-I desire to find my brother; his name was Robert Cofield. He left me in True county, Ga., in 1851. He belonged to Col. Willis Cofield, and went to Chambers county, Ala., with our young master, Dock Cofield, in 1852; he left there for Arkansas. Our mother was named Lettie Cofield; my name was Mahallah, but they always 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 ministers 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 Brenham, Texas, care of my husband, Thomas J. Escoe, or Rev. W. H. Jackson, pastor, Brenham Texas. MAHALLAH ESCOE.
