HOUSTON, March 6,'77.
I want to find my brothers and
sisters. I came to Texas with Gen.
Burger. My brother's name was
Henry, and sisters' names were
Mary, Susan and Sallie. Send letters
in care of Rev. J.F. Cozier,
Houston, Texas. It is three years
since Christ washed away my sins,
and I want to see my brothers and
sisters before I die.
JOHN PHILLIP.
