Dear Editor-I wish to inquire for my relatives whom I left in North Carolina. I left my mother in 1846. My mother and three children belonged to Elijah Polk. My mother's name was Chaney, the three children were brother Albert, sister Mary, and the other's name I cannot remember. I belonged to Wm. Yore. My father was Jesse Ward. I was sold from my people in 1846 to a negro slave trader. I wrote to my mistress' daughter, Annie Yore, and she answered that she knew where my sister was, and that she was married and had two children. We lived in Halifax, N. C. My name was then Morning Ward, but it is now Lucy Morrow. Address me at Elgin, Texas, P. O. box 54
