content: The narrative trimonthly reports of operations, submitted by subordinate officers on February 20, March 31, April 30, and August 31, 1866, and between January 10 and December 23, 1867, are arranged chronologically by date of letter of transmittal.  Trimonthly reports were due on the 10th, 20th, and 30th of each month, not once every 3 months as the term implies. Received from agents in each of the subdistricts, these reports contain information similar to that found in the Assistant Commissioner's monthly reports. Generally, the reports give a broad picture of all activities of a subdistrict headquarters, although some reports contain detailed information on specific cases. A few reports consist merely of lists of contracts approved or cases handled by the reporting agent.
