Mr. Wm M. Colby
Dear Friend
My school has increased in number this month.  Mr. Miller has not yet visited our town.  I think he is very neglectful of his duty  I have written him twice within three weeks and told him the [[underline]] importance [[/underline]] of his coming here.  I would like to make my school "free" next month, if any of the northern men here would take interest enough to [[underline]] assist [[/underline]] in filling out a contract.  I talked with Capt Torrens about it, in Jan.  He said Esq Martin had a great influence over Dan Hunt
