Pine Bluff, Ark. Dec. 31st 1867 Wm M Colby State Supt Education Little Rock, Ark. Dear Sir: Your favor by Thom Noel, containing $10, also the one by mail containing $5 were both received for which receive my thanks. I have delayed writing a little hoping that I might be able to give some favorable account of school. We opened school on Monday, the 23d. I did not expect a large attendance until after holidays, but was disappointed in not having a larger attendance than four & five through the week. Yesterday being somewhat windy & cool there were only two present. It is snowing today,
