Little Rock, Ark May 5, 1870. E.C. Branch. Sirs:- Yours of the 30th ult. with school report enclosed duly received. I saw Gen'l [[Calthoun?]] this morning as requested and I understood him to say that he would make the appointment, but I may be mistaken, as he was in great haste. I now have to ask again that you will secure McCoy's signature to these vouchers and send them to me by mail. I do not understand that he declined to sign, if so please state the fact definitely & I will strike his name from my lists. Very respectfully, Wm M Colby Supt Ed'n
