Sir,

I have the honor to furnish for your information the following extract from a letter of George S Benson, Agent of Luna Landing, Chicot County.

"I can use two teachers immediately if I had them at a compensation of $50 per month.  There are as yet no schools in this county."

I am very respectfully,
