Little Rock Ark.

Sir

Your letter of the 26th of Oct. is received and Contents noted  In reply I would state that I have had a meeting of the freedmen at this place and have the assurance of over one hundred that they can pay the Colored man and wife from St Louis $100.00 

I am well satisfied that if they are competent teachers they can do even better than this.  Colored parties offer to board them at a less sum by half than white persons get board at &c

I am very respectfully
Your Obdt Servt.
