Mr. J. B. Hayley.

Dear Sir,
Yours of the 7th inst. addressed to Col. Beecher and handed me this morning.
I saw Dr. W. B. Cloud the State Superintendent & he wished me to say to you that there is no difficulty in the way. The Superintendent of your county should go to work immediately at colored school. Also necessary instructions have been sent to him. The Legislature passed a Bill today appropriating $200,000 for school purposes during the current year commencing on the first of this month.

Start the Schools, therefore, immediately.
Let me hear from you soon on this subject.

Yours truly
R. D. Harper
Sup't. of Education.
