content: The registered reports of murders and outrages, September and October 1866, March and April 1867, and July 1867, are arranged by time period and thereunder in the order they were entered in volume 1 of the registers of letters received. These reports were submitted in accordance with directives of September 11, 1866, March 7, 1867, and July 3, 1867, from the Assistant Commissioner's Office. The first group of reports is narrative and the second and third are tabular; the third was submitted on prepared Bureau forms. Preceding the first group is a report of freedmen murdered in the State of Texas since the close of the rebellion, evidently compiled in the Assistant Commissioner's Office from the registered reports received. In general the registered reports contain the same kind of information available in the "record of criminal offenses." Information about criminal offenses is also available in the reports of operations and conditions reproduced in Series 7.1.
