MR. EDITOR--I wish to find my people. Mother was Lucy Setes, and sisters were Martha, Mary Jane and Julia Setes. They were sold to Jack Godin at the Jack Godin sale. The man that bought me was Jas. Hickbottom. My mother lived in the back street of Lynchburg, Va., at the beginning of the war; she went to Baltimore and I have not heard of them since. Ad-

dress "Setes," care of Rev. L. Fel-der, Bryan, Texas.
