DEAR EDITOR—I wish to make inquiry for my father, mother, sis- ter [sister] and brothers, whom I left in Washington, Md., before the eman- cipation [emancipation]. My father's name was Sam Graham, mother's Susan Gra- ham [Graham], brothers' Jimmy and Moses Graham, and sister's Letbia Ann. She was sold after the death of Col. Platers to Perry Lyles. Her mother's name was Mintie Beans, and her father's Shedrick Beans. I request all ministers to inquire in their churches for the above-named. If any information can be given of them, please write to me at Moss Point, Jackson county, Miss., care Rev. N. Camon.

MINTIE ANDERSON.
