A Lost Son
A pained heart of a fond mother induces the undersigned to this method of given or of obtaining information of an absent son, named Augustus Ramsdell aged 24 years - a cabinet maker by trade. whether dead or living, we know not, having had no letter from him since he left Lexington, Kentucky for New Orleans, but have heard of his ill health, while on his way, or after he had arrived there, which we cannot learn - so that we know not where to address him. The letters which had been lodged in the post office in Lexington, Ken. since he left that place, could he have seen them would probably have greatly contributed to his happiness, as well as to that of his friends and we doubt not, would have induced him to return immediately home.
We hope that sympathetic mothers will solicit their partners to spread this publication. If any person will give said Augustus information of this or inform the undersigned where he is, we should ever consider ourselves in duty bound to acknowledge the kindness.
