Insp.
The Board of Registration haven completed the circuit of the County and gained as much information concerning the destitute as possable.

We find the number who are actually needy to be not less than 350. Their condition is now more pitiable than at any time during the war and if they are to receive assistance it ought to be rendered at once. Supplies should be sent in about equal portions to Walter C Brewer at Forrest on the Southern R.R. & Henry N. Warren at Canton on the New Orleans & Canton R.R. The Board will take pleasure in seeing that the provisions are distributed to the needy & those only
Very Respectfully
Your Obedt Servt
