content: The letters and telegrams received by the Assistant Commissioner are in three series: registered letters received, unregistered letters received, and unregistered telegrams received.

Registered letters received, June 18, 1865–May 5, 1869, are arranged according to their entry in the registers. The letters are cross–referenced to the registers of letters received usually by the notation "rec'd ACO KY. + Tenn." followed by the register entry number. Some letters have just the register entry number. Most enclosures to letters were not so marked. Many letters also contains file markings given them by previous offices of receipt. Registered correspondence was received from many sources, including General Howard's staff, Superintendent of Education, subassistant commissioners, agents, military commanders, teachers, and other civil and State officials.
