DEAR EDITOR ---- I wish to inquire for my relatives, I left my mother and two brothers and two sisters at Springfield, Virginia, in the year 1862. Mother's name was Mary Dixon, brothers' name was Joseph and Fielden, and Sisters' was Hettie Brown and Susan Tolbert. Joe and Susan belonged to Charles Taylor, Hettie and Fielden and mother belonged to Dr. James Abinathey, who raised us all. My name was Juda Washington, sometimes called Julia. I left two children belonging to David Reece on Patterson's Creek, the boys' name was Johnny and Ida Washington, I wish the pastors of Virginia would help me to find my people as I am growing old and have no one to help me. I have not heard a word from my people since I left them. Any information of the above will be thankfully received. Please address me in care of Rev. P. Morgan, pastor of West Tabernacle M. E. Church, corner Avenue I and 28 street, Galveston, Texas JUDA WASHINGTON.
