Dear Brother
 
The inquiry came from Arkansas whether we are to have the $6000 promised for the building at little Rock. Please inform me - You had some hope of reimbursement by the new appropriation I believe. We have sold our property at Pine Bluff & desire to concentrate at Little Rock & have one good school for that State & can do it if you can give us that $6000.

Respectfully
C H Howard
