Helena June 14, 1870 Hon W.M. Colby Dr Sir I was just at the Laconia Settlement and they are all going in now for schools. I found one which was in operation for some 3 weeks but nearly wasting their time. There was no BlackBoard no charts or any thing else and a large school. The teacher sent while I was there, to the trustee some 6 miles for a blank report I had sent here but did not get it and so they are to send it to you The Trustee J Q A. Dawson asked me to sign vouchers for him
