content: The unregistered letters received, January 1866–December 1867 and May 1869–June 1870, are arranged by year, thereunder alphabetically by the initial letter of the correspondent's surname, and thereunder chronologically. A typed name index has been prepared by NARA. Some letters for early 1866 appear to have been entered in a register that is no longer among the records of the Superintendent of Education. A number of documents for 1866 and 1867 consist of extracts of letters found in the registered series. The letters for 1869 and 1870 consist primarily of correspondence sent by the Superintendent of Education to Commissioner Howard; they were subsequently endorsed back to the Superintendent. There are also a few undated letters that follow those for 1870.
