DEAR EDITOR ----I wish to hear of
Eliza Cotton. Her brother was Edgar
Spencer. In old times our sister
was named Nancy Spencer.
Our mother, Maria, had those
three children and another named
Matilda ----four in all. I found Nancy
Spencer in Virginia, and I am informed
that sister Eliza is in New
Orleans. Let this letter be read
from the pulpits, and address me
at Indian Bayou, Sunflower Co.,
Miss. EDGAR SPENCER.
