Tax receipts on land belonging to the estate of George Handy in Arkansas., 1866-1867

Letter from Wm. Woodruff, land agent in Arkansas, to D. M. Bates, Dover, Delaware in which he advises sale of Arkansas lands to the first person who has applied for them in 20 years. Thinks the land is not very good, and in any event would not bring a better offer, since money is scarce under the "Negro rule" of the government.
