Jacksonport Ark Aug 31st 1868 Wm M Colby Supt of Colored Schools Little Rock Ark Dear Sir I herewith send a monthly report for August as letter of transmittal. The interest in our school is still increasing the attendance larger & the going better. As the cotton season is now opening many of the schoolers will be obliged to leave school to gather the crops. Steps have already been taken to provide for the school the coming month. White and Colored of the Radical Class are contributing for my support and will not consent to let the school close until after Election.
