Batesville Ark. Apr. 17th/69 Supt. Wm. M. Colby Dear Sir, You have probably ere this received my letter acknowledging the receipt of the Outline Maps. They were delayed, I think, at Jacksonport waiting for a boat to bring them to Batesville. I have made a contract with Mr McChesney the trustee of this Dist. For the first three months of my school at $50. per month. At the time the contract was drawn it could not be made to cover a longer space than three months because it was not then known whether the people here would vote to raise money to support schools for a longer time than three months. Since that a school meeting has been held and five months more of school
