Wilmington, N. C., Dec. 9/62.
Enclosed find bill for 2 Sacks L. P. Salt of which you have been advised. The entry was the last one made by our brother. I sent the bonds signed by Bro. Milton and myself to Bro. Addison, by private hand and requested him to get the other signatures and forward it to you at once. Some stir and excitement here to-day a/c of the sailing of the fleet from New Bern -- I am too busy --
Yours in reference to Book Keeper is at hand, will report to-morrow. All confusion to-day.
Mr. Jonathan Worth

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.

Fayetteville, N. C. Jan. 10/63.
Send me your proxy to represent you in the meeting of the C. F. St. B. Co. to be held here on the 15th inst. I will try and get your letter press here. I recd. your letter at W. but had not time to hunt one up. The prospect looks well for a good dividend and we have put on a rate that coins the money now. I shall return to Wilmington as soon as the meeting is past.
I have bought near here but cannot get possession till 1st April.
