I recieved wire from Relief Committee at Raleigh this A.M. for Five Hundred. which we appreciate very mutch in behalf of our sufferers.

Since you were here one of our Committee Prof H. F. Pardue has put in two days on the most distant part of our work & reports more suffering than we had anticipated, in our territory we will have near Fifty families to relieve & some of them in bad circumstances, some that are suffering now while others can pull through untill crop time in the spring. If you can arrange to send us Five Hundred more, we can use it deservingly.
