content: The volume of press copies of telegrams sent, June 25, 1865–December 22, 1866, is arranged chronologically and contains a name index. Included in the volume are telegrams addressed to General Howard, subassistant commissioners, agents, military commanders, Bureau officials, and other correspondents. Some of the telegrams have dollar amounts written in pencil in the margin, presumably showing the cost of sending the telegram.
