Supt. 8th Dist.
Arkadelphia, Ark.
Dear Sir,
Mrs Stuart has informed you of her failure to secure any pay at Washington and given you the reason for such failure. It is a little remarkable that the Supt of the 9th Dist. Should state positively, in writing that Mrs. S, holds his certificate. However, Dr Smith has kindly

come to her aid in the emergency and granted her a certificate which I herewith enclose as also duplicate contract, (blank) with her signature attached. I enclose to you because you are acquainted with the parties and all the circumstances in the case, and will soon visit Washington in person as I learn from Mrs. S.
Should you remit any funds either to Mrs Stuart or myself please use P.O. orders. I have a favorable opinion of the Camden teachers - they possess real merit but no great amount of push.
Hope you had a pleasant trip home, and that our lady friend will have no occasion to regret the undertaking.
Teachers departed this morning.
Very resp'y
Wm M. Colby
