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.
