MR. EDITOR— I desire to inquire through your valuable paper about my relations. I was bred and born in Virginia, but am unable to name the county, for I was so young that I don't recollect it; but I remember I lived twelve miles from a town called Danville. My master was James Ferrill, and my mistress was Martha Ferrill. I was sold to his brother, a speculator, whose name was Win. Ferrill, and was brought to Mobile at the age of 10 years. To my recollection my father's name was Joseph, and my mother's Milly, my brother's Anthony, and my sister's Maria. We belonged to James Ferrill, except one sister, Julia, and I don't know who she belonged to. Any information of the above names persons will be thankfully received. My name was Annie Ferrill, but my owners changed my name to Caroline Rodes. All Christian papers please copy, and all preachers in charge will please assist me in finding my long lost friends. Direct your letters to 185 Soraparu St., New Orleans, and oblige your obedient sister in the Lord. CAROLINE RODES
