content: The volume of fair copies of orders and circulars issued, October 1, 1867–April 28, 1869, is arranged chronologically. Each type of issuance, except circular letters, is numbered within each year. In the left margin of each page (beside each issuance) is a list of names of individuals addressed or mentioned in the issuance. A name index, compiled from the names in the margins, is arranged alphabetically by initial letter of surname and filmed before the volume. The number after each name refers to the page number of an issuance concerning that person. Listed under the letter "C" in the index are the dates of circulars and circular letters. The same information also is listed under the letter "O" for orders.
