1t will be remembered that Secretary
Of State Bryon Boyd received a letter
from a gentleman in Arizona, asking if
the relatives of one Louis \. Land
could be found, saying that the man
had died, leaving no relatives there.
and no trace of his relatives, only that
the friends knew that his home was
in Maine
Mr.. Boyd gave the letter to the Jour
nal, in which it was published. Later
the other Maine papers published it,
and the result was that the mans sis
ter has been discovered. She is Mrs.
Roxanna \. Goose living at Stockton
Springs.
The following is the letter sent by
Mrs. Goose to Secretary Boyd:
Stockton Springs, June Is. 1s9S.
To the Secretary of State:
