DEAR EDITOR: I wish to inquire for my mother and two brothers. My mother's name was Fannie Barber, my brothers were named Stephen and Levi Barber; they belonged to Charles Lamate, and I was sold to a negro trader; this was in 1851, I being fourteen years old. My mother's master lived in New Orleans at the time; my mother had three children when I was sold, myself and my two broth- ers. [brothers] My name has been changed from John Barber to John C. Evans. Address me, at Millbrook, St. Francis county, Ark.

JOHN C. EVANS
