content: Applications for restoration of property, August 1865–January 1868, are arranged by initial letter of the surname of the applicant. File notations on many of the documents are from offices that handled the correspondence before it reached the Assistant Commissioner's office. Many of the applications included the applicant's loyalty oath or copies of his pardon to attest his loyalty to the Union, a pre–requisite for restoration of land. Some of the applications are entered in the registers of letters received.
