Major Roney received a letter from you relative to his boy,
Tucker White, and has sent me here to inquire of you his
whereabouts now. If you know anything concerning him and will
give me such information so I can get him, you will be rewarded
for your trouble. You will please address,
No. 147 American Hotel.
The Major would have sent on sooner but he has been sick, and
the letter laid in Office several days.
Mr. Canby was at the time ill, and no attention was paid to the
communication. After a day's delay the following note came to hand, but,
as in the former instance, no answer was returned.
