Sir: I am in almost daily receipt of letters from colored men making inquiries in regard to going to Ark. to locate homesteads; and it is frequently asked: "Can we get transportation for mules, or horses, and farming utensils?"

Will you please enable me to reply authoritatively to this question?

I am very respectfully
