  DEAR EDITOR--I desire to inquire for my father.  I left him in Texas in 1853.  He belonged to Mr. Randolph Cox, and I to Mr.  W. V. Rhodes.  Donnet Rhodes brought mother and I to Louisiana.  My father's name is Matthew Randolph but they called him Cox; mother was Angeline Randolph, but she is married to Ben Crockett.  I formerly lived in Matagerda Co., Texas, near Galveston Bay.  Address me at Booneville, La.    NEPTUNE RANDOLPH.
