{"value"=>"He has intelligence that the enemy were moving towards Duplin Court House the preceding day; does not consider it his duty to protect Avery's property or that of any other individual; besides, the property of the people in Wayne is in greater danger than that of the inhabitants of Jones county; he is not to blame that the enemy have been permitted to come so far from Wilmington; it is owing to neglect of his superiors and the legislature; he has not been able to prevent depredations; he asked the Governor's permission to order a draft of the militia, but received no answer; will not order a draft without the Governor's consent."}
