Your favor of the 16" came duly. It is always gratifying to me to hear from the teachers and it is sometimes profitable to them to write for it enables me to understand fully their wants and the needs of the freed people, and if I can not in my official capacity Supply them I can at least give them Sympathy and commendation.
Partly as a result of your very full and interesting reports to us I design before long sending Mr. Miller to Ft. Smith to remain Some time and to operate both there and at Van Buren and in the adjacent country. We expect to build at Fort Smith and Mr. M. will inquire into the expediency of building at Van Buren also. He will probably leave here by the 10" of March and remain at least four weeks.
Very truly Yours,
Wm M. Colby.
