STATE OF ARKANSAS. EXECUTIVE OFFICE, LITTLE ROCK, June 24, 1800.

Professor JOSEPH JONES, M. D., New Orleans, La.

DEAR SIR Yours of some time since, received, and answer held with view of securing at least some of the information sought, but my time has been so occupied with official duties that I have been unable to get information. Besides this there are no records, official, in any of the State departments from which such informa- tion can be had, hence I can not comply with your request.

We are making an effort to organize the ex- Confederates in this State, and hope to succeed. We have raised a fund and will soon have a home at our capital, so as to be able to support such as are not able to support themselves.

Very truly yours,

JAMES P. EAGLE.
