MR. EDITOR-- I wish to inquire for my father. His name was Sam Bassett; he belonged to Bassett of South Carolina, My mother was named Mary; she belonged to Dr. Robertson; she had three children: Aaron, sister Subiner and myself; I am the youngest one. When he left us he went to Washington City. I have inquired for him before. I heard he was keeping a wholesale liquor house there. He has been there ever since 1856, or perhaps longer. His sister was named Mary; she belonged to Lieutenant Givens. My name is Sam Bassett. Address me 900 East Ash street, Austin, Texas.
