DEAR EDITOR: I wish to inquire for my relatives. I have not heard from them since the year 1868, in which year I was taken away from them and carried to the Orphaus' Home. I have in New Orleans an aunt and a sister, Julia Brown and Lucinda Brown. My mother died on Poydras street, New Orleans, and she was buried in the Old Basin Cemetary. I have an uncle by the name of Dave. His other name I cannot remember. My maiden name was Josephine Brown and my married name is Josephine Thomas. Please address me at La Teche, La, M.E. Church, in care of Rev. E. Lyon. Yours respectfully, JOSEPHINE THOMAS, or LUCY THOMAS
