I, A.G. Hawkins, a resident of Wilmington County, N.C., am personally acquainted with Pompey Waddell, destitute Freedmen, who resides in Brunswick County, N.C., and state, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that he by reason of age and sickness is unable to maintain himself, and ... no friends to assist him, and is an object worthy of charity from the government. A.G. Hawkins {SEAL} Sworn and subscribed to before me, by A G Hawkins, this 28 day of June, 1866. S D Wallace JP. NOTE.-This Certificate must be signed and sworn to before some Magistrate, Justice of the Peace, or officer of the army.
