MR. EDITOR—I read in your paper of Dec. 23, 1881, about my son. His name is John Barber, but changed to John C. Evans. He was sold to a trader in 1851, at the age of fourteen. I have written two letters but have received no answer. I am very anxious to hear of him, as I am alone in this world. Mrs. Fanny Barber, No. 257 Conti street, corner Rocheblave, New Orleans.
