MR. EDITOR: I wish to inquire for my father and cousin. I left them in Shreveport, La., near Caddo parish. My father belonged to Daniel Waddle; my cousin to one Ford, twelve miles from Shreveport. My father's name was Holder Waddle. Cousin Adeline and I belonged to Charles Hister, who was killed in Shreveport in a duel with one Dr. Green. I have not seen father since 1848. When I left them I went to Hinds county, Miss., and from there to Tensas parish, La.; from there to Austin, Texas. I am now living at or near Alleyton; have bought land of my own and paid for it. Address Joe Holder or J. H. Holden, Alleyton, Colorado county, Texas, care of Mr. G. R. Smith.
