	This is another one of those terrible cases. This old woman 18 on starvation. She had a cow and can‘t ~et another one. The son 18 blind but feels about and did. milk. The bedbugs are nearly eating her up. They scald but can‘ t get rid of them. They have a fai ny good house to live in. But the old woman is on starvation and away back eight thiles from Biscoe. I hate to see good old Negroes want for somethint~ to eat. She acts like a small child. i~itiful, so feeble. The second time I went out there I took her daughter who walks out there every week. ~e fixed her up an iron bed‘stead so she can sleep better. I took her a ~nall cake. That was her dinner. She had eaten one egg that morning. She was a clean, kind old woman. Very much like a child. Has a rising in her head and said she was afraid her head would kill her. She gave rae a gallon of‘ nice figs her daughter picked, so I paid her twenty—five cents for them. She had plenty figs and no sugar.
