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.

The final subseries contains other unregistered letters and telegrams, February 1865–March 1869, and is arranged chronologically. Most of these letters and telegrams are dated June 1865–December 1866. A few letters and telegrams dated prior to June 1865 were addressed to the military officer serving as General Superintendent of Refugees and Freedmen, Department of Tennessee and Arkansas. He performed many of the same duties as the Assistant Commissioner when the Bureau became operative in Arkansas. NARA has prepared a name index to the last subseries of unregistered letters and telegrams; this index precedes the images in this subseries.
