Respectfully returned Henderson Wright has not been heard from since leaving. Moses Harper is working in Jones Co and says he will not return unless forced to.
Mr Dunn is a well known citizen of this place and from all I can learn his statement is reliable. I would recomend that the indenture be ordered to be cancelled
