DEAR EDITOR--I wish to inquire for my brothers. We were separated in Lawrence county, Ala., and I have never seen them since. My name is Nancy Birch, but when I was sold Mr. Bibb sold me to Mr. Birch. My brothers' names were George, Sam, Jarrett, Legustus, Prismus, Tanner, Nelson and Peter. There was also Lucinda and Rhetta Bibbs. Peter is with me now. Address me at Paulding, Miss. NANCY BIRD
