Washington, Ark.
June 30th 1870

Mr Wm M. Colby

Kind friend
I write a hasty line, to inform you that I am not well enough to leave this town tomorrow morning, as was my intention. I am disappointed, for I anticipated spending the Sabbath in Arkadelphia with Mrs Casey.

I hope to start for Little Rock next Monday morning.

I have not been absent from school even one day since Jan,

My labors have been too much for one teacher. I shall not regret to have a rest, for awhile a least.

Very truly
Mary B. Stuart
