Fair Dale. March 31. 1867

Rev. Wm. Colby
Supt. Schools Ark and Ind. Ter. 
Little Rock, Ark.

Sir:
I regret to again report that there are no schools for Freed children in operation in my county. 
I trust that no effort will be spared to procure the teachers for whom application has already been made. Knowing that the Freedpeople are anxiously looking for their coming. 
They should be requested to report by letter to me immediately on arrival.

Very respectfully, 
Your obt. servant
William D. Hale
Supt. Bureau R.F.A.S
Arkansas Co.
