content: The Assistant Commissioner's monthly reports of property returned to owners, October 1865–December 1867, are arranged chronologically. Each entry in these retained copies of tabular reports sent to General Howard include the name of the owner; a description of the property; the estimated value of the property; an administrative designation of the property as confiscated, as abandoned, or as enemy property; the number of the special order that restored the property; the date of the restoration; and other remarks. The series contains one undated report signed by General Fullerton, which probably was compiled in September or October 1865.
