MR. EDITOR-- I wish to inquire for my mother. She belonged to Mr. Royal; after he died Mrs. Royal married a Mr. Denison, and we were divided. I went to Miss Virginia Royal, and the last I saw of my mother she was standing on the beach at Matagorda, Texas, on her way to San Antonio. Mother's name is Sallie Denison; my name is Sarah Royal. I heard from a white lady that my mother was in Houston City, belonging to the M. E. Church. Please address Mr. Jacob Marshall, at Sherman, Texas.
