MR. EDITOR—I am seeking the whereabouts of Mother, two broth- ers [brothers] and one sister. Mother's name is Julia Echoles; sister's Ellen ; brothers' Lowen and Tom Echoles. I received a letter from her in the year 1870. She was then living in Desoto Co., near Cold Water Springs, Miss. I have not heard from her since we used to belong to Larkin Echoles. I was brought from there by a negro trader by the name of Henry Vanhusen and sold in Texas to a man by the name of Wm. English. My uncle George was sold with me, but I know not where he is. Any information leading to the whereabouts of the above-named persons will be gladly received. Address me in care of Prof. W. H. Jackson, San Felipe, Austin county, Texas.

ALFRED ECHOLES.
