25. Fifth Avenue,
New York, July 16, 1866

Sir -

James J. Thompson, a native of the United Statse, married, some years ago. Dona Ysabel Bemgolea, of Lima. This lady, having received no news from her husband for the last two years, is very anxious to ascertain, if possible, what may have become of him. And for that end sends me the following particulars in regard to his family.

His father Jefferson Thompson is a farmer. The name of the mother is Mary Lacretia. He had two brothers, Roland and Joseph, the latter of which was a physician, residing at Mobile, and two sisters Margaret and Indiana. The family resided at Brookville - county of Noxubee, State of Mississippi.

The name of this person has called to my mind a narrative published in the New York papers in the month of December
