DEAR EDITOR—I wish to inquire for January and Becky Grimble, my step-children. I have not seen them for thirty-nine years. I then went by the name of Toby Grimble, but since freedom I have gone by my own name, Emmanuel Toby. Should they see this they will please write to me at Houston, Harris Co., Texas. EMMANUEL TOBY.
