Helena March 1st 69 Wm. M. Colby Intemperance prevails to a great extent among the colored people around here. We have a temperance society in connection with our day school with which we are endeavoring to do some good. We have no clause on tobacco in our pledge as we thought some would do without intoxicating liquors that would not do without tobacco. Our influence is against Tobacco in every way. Respectfully, Eliza Clark.
