DEAR EDITOR : I desire to in- quire [inquire] about my kin folks, whom I left in Petersburgh, Va. I was sold by John Britton to Henry Davis ; and Mark Davis brought me to New Orleans. My mother was named Nancy Fields and my brother William Field, sisters were Jane and Polly Fields. I was very young when I was sold and therefore, cannot rightly state about what time I left home, but it was after the defeat of Henry Clay to President of the United States.

Address me at Stafford Point, Texas.

JOHN FIELDS.
