Supt. Little Rock Ark

Dear Sir:
In Sec'y Howards absence it become my duty to write you inquiring some particulars about the Bureau buildings which are to be transferred to the A.M.A in Ark. We shall be pleased if you can furnish us a statement of size, situation, capacity, cost &c of the buildings at P Smith. Pine Bluff, Washington and other points in Ark. I'm not quite sure that the A.M.A. holds such Title to the lands as will secure a transfer. 
We shall feel obliged to you for any suggestions.
Very Respectfully 
O.C. Sabin
Asst Tr.
