MR. EDITOR-- I would be glad to find my people whom I have not seen in 22 years. They are named James, Samuel, Harriet and Mary Bush. As I went to St. Louis I heard from some of them. My mother had three daughters; she died in Texas; my stepfather still lives there. In the name of God I hope to hear from my people. Mr. Editor, if it takes you all the year find my people. Address Bole Nelson, Spring, Hill county, Texas.
