Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

Unbound letters received, May 1865–August 1869, are in two numerical sequences. Although these letters are entered in the two volumes of registers of letters received, 1 (55) and 2 (56), it appears as if the letters were first arranged and numbered in chronological order, and then the entry number of the letter was written next to the entry in the register.
