Letter from Barzillai G. Worth to Jonathan Worth, December 11, 1862
Wilmington, N. C. Dec. 11th '62.

I have carefully canvassed our place in my mind and cannot think of any one that I think will suit you as a clerk. All are engaged or in the field or incompetent. Chatterton has lost cast as to character, drinks, etc. I hope the present clerk will act the man and prove himself right in the main. You enter on the duties at short notice. Our Journal takes occasion to pay you a compliment though not intended as such. I should never thought of styling you Dictator.
