{"value"=>"Has received his letter from Ramsey's Mills; had hoped that in accordance with orders he had marched all the militia on the road to Salisbury; Mr. Parker has told him there are 200 bushels of wheat in Bell's Mills belonging to the Army; orders him to have it ground; he cannot fail to meet with beef on his road; must get to Salisbury as soon as possible as supplies may be obtained there and at the ford on the Yadkin; advises him to march away from famine as expeditiously as possible. In a postscript directs that such men as have no cartridge boxes may carry their ammunition in their pockets, till they can be supplied."}
