Thank you, razmee209. I'm afraid it has to do with that particular thread being between my iphone and an Android phone. Unfortunately, I don't have backup with my carrier, only icloud. According to an apple support chat yesterday, icloud does not back up texts from Android!?

Are you sure you talked to Apple support? Text message is part of the icloud/itunes backup, unless you synced them to the cloud.

I have somehow lost an entire text thread on my iphone SE. How can I retrieve it?

Restore phone from your backup, if you have one and weren't syncing message to the cloud.
