NARA 784

Raleigh July 1st 1867

Dear Sir:
I write to ask a small favor of you, - I am an old colored woman, and ask this favor from one I know to be a friend

I had a grand son, about 10 years old, living near Rocky Mount, and he was coming up to live with me. He was to have left Rocky Mount on the 3d of June, and get to Goldsboro the same day and I made arrangements with a gentleman of this place, who was to be in Goldsboro on that day, to send him on to this place.  The boy, however did not come that day, but I learn that he left Rocky Mount on the 5th (Wednesday) and since then I have heard nothing from him. He is lost. If he is about Goldsboro, I have no doubt you may have learned something
