Washington, Ark. March 4th 1869 Mr. Wm. M. Colby Dear friend The Geographies came safe & all right. The children were very much pleased & those who could not have one, were disappointed. Mr. Casey had a copy, which I used last month, to instruct this class. They could not improve very rapidly without a supply of books. My school is prosperous & pleasant. Mr. Casey tells me you have a fine little daughter, which I hope may live to be useful and a comfort to her parents. When you have her photograph taken, I hope to receive one.
