MR. EDITOR. -- I wish to inquire for my mother, whom I left in Smith county, Va. I was taken from her when I was about seven years old. My master's name was Burke Richison; his two daughters names were Mary and Emma; his son's name was Sam. My mother's name was Jenny. The two house-girls names were Christine and Henrietta. My name was Eliza Ann. I was taken by a Negro-trader. We lived about eight miles from Washington City. I have a sister whose name was Rose. I left her with my mother. I am now known as Eliza Avery. If you receive any information of the above please address Rev. A. Moore, Shreveport, La.
