Gen. C.H. Howard 
Sec'y A.M.A. Chicago, Ill. 

Dear Sir:-

I respectfully enclose herewith [[strikethrough]] copies [[/strikethrough]] deeds to school sites at Lake Village and Rocky Comfort.  Copies have been furnished to the Commissioner.  The purchase at Lake Village has been consummated and Hon. J.B. Tallman will open correspondence with your office commencing the administration of the school after the present term.  I am authorized to build at Rocky Comfort - the cost not exceed $2700.  Henderson is attending to preliminaries at Fayetteville and I shall go up in a few days if I can get there.

My opinion as to a change at Pine Bluff - a change in the site - you already have.  In making the transfer a little care may be necessary in providing that not many decent friends order the grounds at your or my expense. The Friends have a Normal School App at Helena.

Very truly Yours 
Wm M Colby
