- Scope and Contents
- Letters and telegrams received by the Assistant Commissioner are in three unbound series: registered letters and telegrams received, unregistered letters received, and unregistered telegrams received. The registered letters and telegrams received, July 1, 1865–December 20, 1868, are arranged in accordance to their entry in the register. Only a few letters or telegrams exist for 1866. The file citation on each item of correspondence includes an entry number from the register; initials designating the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, Louisiana (Bu R Fr A L–La); and the year. Some file citations show only the register entry number. Enclosures to letters frequently were not marked with a file citation, and many letters contain additional file citations from previous offices of receipt.
