content: The volume of orders, circulars, and other directives issued and received, May 19, 1865–August 28, 1868, is arranged generally chronologically. Except for circular letters, each type of issuance is numbered within each year. In addition to issuances, there are also a small number of copies of congressional acts, speeches given by Bureau officials, lists of instructions from the Assistant Commissioner's Office, and a copy of the constitution of the Howard Fraternal Union. Most of the issuances consist of printed or handwritten copies pasted into the volume, except for a few fair copies at the beginning. Issuances in this volume that are duplicated in the volume of orders and circulars issued have not been filmed.
