content: The four volumes of letters sent, April 1867–December 1868 (425 – 428) are arranged chronologically. The first Volume (425) consists of three sections: circulars, November 1866–March 1868; letters sent, April–July 1867; and a register of endorsements sent by the assistant subassistant commissioner, January–June 1867. Subsequent Volumes (426 – 428) continue the series of letters sent. The fourth volume includes a name index (pp. 416 – 428). Trimonthly reports make up a large part of these records, which also include circular letters and special reports on indigent and destitute persons and on persons and articles hired. Most cross–references in these records refer to the registered series of letters received and the endorsement books in the assistant commissioner's office.
