Bureau Refugees Freedmen & A.L.
Office Supt. Arkansas County
Fair Dale. Feb. 28, 1867

Rev. William Colby
Supt Schools Ark. & Ind. Ter.
Little Rock, Ark

Sir:

I have to state that there are no schools for Freedmen in this county. The very thorough efforts of Mr. Miller, your able and energetic assistant, has resulted in applications by several planters for teachers, and I trust that a succeeding report will show a gratifying change in this matter of so grave importance to the Freedmen.

Very respectfully,
Your obt. servant
William D. Hale
Supt Bureau 
For Arkansas Co.
