Asst. Com Bu R.F.&A.L. 
Little Rock. Ark.

General:
I have recently been in correspondence with parties at Hot Springs who referred that the freedmen revived their school there the first of the present month with an old gentleman by the name of Hezakiah Roberts as their teacher, (who is represented to be competent) and they ask sufficient aid to cover the rental of a school room.  Assuming these statements to be true I would ask that the sum of ten dollars ($10.00) a month be granted them to pay rent payable to Donald L. Moore - While a competent teacher is employed and reports of the School duly made to this office. Payment of rent to commence February 1, 1868.
I have the honor to be,
Very respectfully, Your obedient Servant
Wm M Colby
