Ark.
Dear Sir:
Yours of the 17th is at hand. I feel constrained to suspend further action in relation to school matters at Hot Springs until such time as I can visit the place in person which I hope will be in two or three weeks. At present I can give no encouragement that a larger sum than ten dollars a month will be appropriated for rent of School house there. Please communicate these facts to Mr. Roberts.
The maps of which you speak were designed for Camden, and have gone forward.
I am very respectfully
Your obedient Servant
