Jonathan Worth to Barsillai Gardner Worth, September 30, 1861

ASHEBORO, Sept. 30th, 1861.

I found no small part of the district candidates for Congress and, having no notion of a scramble, I refused to allow my name to be used. I could have got a very strong vote.

Two new companies from Randolph are about ready to go into camp.

All well at home.
