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
