A CARO,— Jn crossing the Savannah river in
the ferry boat from Hamburg to Augusta,on Satur
day afternoon, May 30, I threw (by permission)
my blue broadcloth cloak into the one horse wagon
of an individual, who, with his wife and a small
child, was crossing at tiie same time. The wife
knew of the fact, for it was to her I addressed
myself. When 1 arrived at the landing, I came off
leaving my eluak, which was carried off by the
individuals a luded to. The lady, if I mistake not,
told me they were moving from South Carolina to
the western part of this State, (Georgia). If any
kind friend could give me the clue to their names,
the place to which they were travelling, so that
may übtain my valuable cloak, he would confer
aifc|yor upon one who at times is too forgetful for
his interest, JAMES SEWELL.
