Sweeny has attempted three times to have a notice published in the Freeman's Journal but the notice has not been forthcoming. He wishes to locate two nephews and a niece of his who were living somewhere in Iowa when he last heard of them. These relatives are; Daniel, Edward, and Kate McSweeny When last heard from, they lived with the sons of their mother's sister, named Collens. The missing relatives were all over age and their mother was with them, the wife and children of Sweeny's brother John, who lived many years in New York and who died there. He believes McMaster was acquainted with his brother one time. Sweeny has written twice to Iowa but his letters were returned because they lacked a specific address. He has been a steady subscriber to the paper since the early days when it was in the hands of the Whites, except for a 3 year period beginning in 1873, when he was forced to discontinue his subscription because of his health. Sweeny has anxiously looked for publication of his notice, and has seen a notice concerning a certain missing Hamilton, but he has not seen his own. He asks that McMaster publish the notice or else tell him the reason why he cannot do it. :: I-2-c A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo
