My mother, on her death bed, gave me to her sister Melissa Cain, who was living or rather cooking for a family a few miles from Austin, and I was taken away from her by my uncle Jim Roe and carried to Bastrop, Texas, where I was given to a family of white people by the name of Olive.

<p>MR. EDITOR: I desire to learn something of my relatives; my grandmother's name was Julia; she belonged to a man by the name of Bob Lust; she had four children to my knowledge: two daughters and two sons--Ellen, Georgiana, Mat and Wash. My mother was the oldest daughter; she died August 17, 1888. We came to Louisiana the first year after the war from Leon Co., Tex. Mother's owner was Bill Cooper; he is my father. My aunt Georgia I have never seen; she belonged to a man by the name of Nathan Smith, near Grant Co., Tex. My uncle Washington belonged to a man by the name of Charles Hayey. My uncle Mathew, I don't know who was his owner. Mother says he was gone to Brazos City when we came from Texas to Louisiana. Address me to Mill Haven Postoffice, La. JULIA COOPER.</p>

We used to belong to Solomon Legruy, Esq., who was living in Charleston and had a plantation on James Island. My father used to belong to C. D. Carr, the tailor, who kept a store on Broad street. My mother died in 1849, leaving four boys, the youngest one died shortly after her, which was Sorris. We three boys grew up at the tailor's trade until the death of our mother. and I, Daniel, used to belong to George B. Reed, Esq. Have the kindness to ask all ministers in South Carolina to read this letter to their congregation. My name is Daniel Sanders, living at the Island of False River, parish of Point Coupee, Ventress, P. O., La. Any information of their whereabouts will please address as above.</p>
