content: The monthly reports of indentures, December 1865–November 1868, are arranged by year, thereunder alphabetically by initial letter of station of agent or superintendent, and thereunder chronologically. Some reports are narrative while others list persons apprenticed, to whom apprenticed, date of indenture, when the indenture was recorded, and when it was approved by probate court. There appear to be very few indentures after 1866.
