MR. EDITOR--I am seeking the whereabouts of my mother. I left her in St. Mary parish, La., about the year 1860. Her name is Eliz- abeth [Elizabeth] Brooks. She had a little boy, William, about two years old when I left. We formerly belonged to Solomon Levi. I nursed awhile for Mrs. Capt. Atkinson. Her hus- band [husband] ran the steamboat T.D. Hiues. After this Rosa Levi, daughter of Solomon Levi, mar- ried [married] Mr. Roadwoof Bare, and brought me to Texas. My father, Henderson Brooks, came to Texas the same year I did, but I don't know where he is. My name was Martha Ann Elizabeth Brooks Preachers and readers in St. Mary parish, I pray you, for the Lord's sake, to seek out my old mother. Address me M.A.E. TOLBERT, Care W.H. Jackson, San Felipe, Texas
