MR. EDITOR-Allow me to inquire for my sister. I left her before the war at Union Court house, South Carolina, in Union district. She went by the name of Eliza Rice. My only brother was named Bob Rice, and mother Julia Rice. All of us belonged to Ben Rice. I was sold to the Davis family, and brought to Texas a few years before the war. Sister Eliza was left with Ben Rice. If Eliza is alive she may be living somewhere in Texas. Any information of her whereabouts will be thankfully received and liberally rewarded by addressing me at Bryan, Texas. LEAH SAUNDERS.
