I, Sophia Smith, a resident of Brunswick County, North Carolina, am personally acquainted with Peggy Harrison who has three young children & is destitute, widow who reside Brunswick County, North Carolina, and state, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that she is  unable to maintain herself & family  and  has no friends to assist her and is worthy of charity from the government, and is in danger of starvation if relief is not given.
