content: The entries in the register of applications for restoration of property, August 1865–May 1866, are arranged alphabetically by the initial letter of surname or office of correspondent and thereunder generally in chronological order by date of receipt of the application. 

In the register for each letter entered, there is an entry number, the name of the petitioner, the name or description of the property, and the date the land was restored, if applicable. A cross–reference entry number is given for the application if it is also entered in the Assistant Commissioner's registers of letters received. 

Not all the applications entered in the register are among the records. Some were forwarded to Bureau headquarters or other offices or officers. The National Archives has placed an asterisk (*) in the register by the entry number of each application still among the records of the Assistant Commissioner. The National Archives has also placed cross–reference symbols in the register in the same manner as in the registers of letters received.
