content: The unregistered letters received relating to appointments, July 1865–October 1869, are arranged by year and thereunder alphabetically by initial letter of surname of applicant. Included are applications, recommendations, and acceptances of positions in the Bureau, and form letters of appointment and revocation received from the Bureau headquarters in Washington. The letters that predate September 1865 seem to have been referred to General Wild, and those that postdate April 1869 relate to positions in the Office of the Superintendent of Education.
