{"value"=>"Had written that the companies should be completed by detachments from the several companies, but as a further explanation is necessary has drawn out the method agreed upon for the county [Newcastle]; the officers think the quota may be raised according to the requisites of Congress; he hopes that Rodney's county may do the same, and begs him to exert himself to that end; a location for the camp has been fixed near Naaman's Creek. In a postscript asks him to communicate the mode of raising the militia to General Dagworthy."}
