MR. EDITOR:--I wish to inquire for my people. I left them in Mississippi. We were parted in 1849, as near as I can remember, in Smith county. Father was a preacher. I had two sisters; the oldest was Harriet, next Kittie. They were taken to Jackson by John Currie to his brother David Currie. My sisters Martha and Anna Jane were taken by Miss Elizabeth Currie. Sister Mary and I belonged to John Currie. We were brought to Texas. Sister Mary was brought by Manning and I by John Currie. Address me at Bedias, Texas. LEVEN CURRIE.
