Davis Lake. (Pendleton. P.O.)
Ark July 11th 1868

Wm. M. Colby Esq
Dear Friend: 
I received yours of Oct. 25th about a week ago & would have [[lan?]] answered it then but had no stamps. Mr. Miller has now arrived and I take this opportunity to write but have not anything cheerful to write. My school is now suspended of necessity to await developments. The Register I wont apply for now. I am very sorry for my negligence in not writing P.O. adress on previous letters. I must now close as Mr Miller is in a hurry and must send off his letter-

Yours Respectfully
Affectionately and Truly
A.B. Sickle
