DEAR EDITOR: ---- I am inquiring for my people. My mother was Priscilla; she belonged to Watson, and he sold her to Bill Calburt, near Hopewell, Georgia. We lived near Knoxville. My name was Betty Watson. I left her when I was three years old; I am now 55 years old. I learned how to read when I was 50. I take and read the SOUTHWESTERN, it is food for my soul. I am anxious and would be glad to hear something of my mother or my brother Henry. Some one help me. Write to me in care of Rev. H. J. Wright, Asbury M. E. Church, Natchitoches, where I am a member and a Sabbath school scholar.

BETTY DAVIS.
