MR. EDITOR:--I wish to inquire for my children. Balim was the oldest, Winnie the youngest; Annie came to Texas and is dead; Balim was sold to Gilbert Shivers in Simp- son co., Miss., on Silver Creek. I was sold to his cousin Henry Barry and was brought to Texas by James Oatman. My name when I left there was Polly Shivers. I have not heard or seen them since the war. Address me at Houston, Texas, care of Rev. R. R. Roberts.

          MRS. POLLY MCCRAY.
