content: The three series of reports relating to property owned or rented by the Bureau, 1866–1869, are arranged by type of record. A series of leases for property rented by the Bureau, forwarded to the Assistant Commissioner by the assistant superintendents, April 1866–January 1869, is arranged alphabetically by place of rental. Two lists of Bureau property enumerating carts, wagons, horses, oxen, and various types of office equipment are filed at the end of the series. A small series of reports of the predecessor Department of Negro Affairs, January 1–June 30, 1864, is concerned with the value of transportation and office equipment transferred to and from the Department of Negro Affairs.

The last series consists of reports, October 1866–December 1868, from boards established by the Assistant Commissioner in special order 76, June 9, 1867, to determine the rent of buildings for use by the Bureau.
