OFFICE OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF INDIANA YEARLY MEETING OF FRIENDS,
FOR THE RELIEF OF FREEDMEN.

Richmond, Ind., 2. 8. 1867

W. M. Colby Gen. Supt of Schools Ark

Dear Friend

In reply to thy inquiry about desks, their price in I would say that Rankin's address is Madison, Indiana. I would like thee to examine the desks which we have shipped to Helena. 
The person who manufactured them has just taken out a patent for some improvements in desks which he would attach if you preferred.

The desks would cost $4.75 each and as they are six feet long it would be difficult to plan desks which would cost less per scholar-

They have two coats of oil on them which will not so easily come off as varnish - I shall be glad to give any further information or purchase anything that you may wish -

Sincerely
Thy Friend
Timothy Harrison
