I accidentally deleted all my text messages from one individual. My backup is ON. How can I retrieve that?

How can I restore that individual’s texts to me?

If you had messages in iCloud turned on Keep all your messages in iCloud - Apple Support and those messages were deleted, then they are permanently gone. If that feature wasn't turned on, you can restore from a backup -- Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support.
