DEAR EDITOR—I wish to inquire for my mother's relations. She left us in Georgia. Her father was named Adam Melton and her mother Peggie Melton. She had a brother. One sister came to Texas with her ; they went back shortly after. They came out with a man by the name of Heard. Her brother was named Wilson Melton, and is now in Galveston. Sister's name is Phoebe Melton, whom she has never heard from. My mother's name is Sylva Wair. If any such names should be found among the readers of the SOUTHWESTERN please address my mother at Victoria, Texas ; or G. A. Wair, at Fulton, Texas.

SYLVA WAIR.
