HOWARD Dist. Sec'y Chicago. Chicago, May 31, 1871 Gen. O. O. Howard Comr. &c. 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 secretary A.M.A.
