DEAR EDITOR—I wish to find my friends, whom I left in Vir- ginia [Virginia]. To my best knowledge it was in 1859 or 1860. I belonged to Thomas B. Stewart. My name is Eliza Tolds, my mother [indecipherable, possibly Maria] Dogans. I had five sisters, Susan, Lizzie, Elie, Hannah and Milly ; three brothers, Shelton, Blackwell and William Brown. I left my baby, Peter, 13 months old, with Miss Nancy Stewart. I lived in Farquhar courthouse. I had an uncle named Spencer, and three cousins, Godfield, Sandy and Jack Lewis. I now go by the name of Ella Smith. Address me at Ofaho- ma [Ofahoma], Leake county, Miss., care Rev. C. Stewart.
