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

The number of unregistered letters received, July 1865–May 1869, is much smaller than the number of registered letters. These letters are arranged by year and thereunder alphabetically by initial letter of surname of correspondent. Though originally unindexed, the NARS staff has supplied a name index that has been filmed immediately preceding the letters. Many of the letters bear file numbers from other offices where they had been registered. The letters are similar in content to the registered letters.
