content: A series of unbound narrative reports were received by the Assistant Commissioner, which includes operations reports from subdistrict officers. 

The unbound reports of operations from the subdistrict officers, September 1865–December 1868, are arranged alphabetically by name of subdistrict and thereunder chronologically. These weekly, monthly, and annual reports pertain to the performance of Bureau functions at the subdistrict level. Reports frequently contain information relating to school matters, the administration of relief, agriculture and labor conditions, the operation of laws, outrages committed upon freedmen, and the relationship between races. Sometimes there are also reports on conditions in the subdistricts among the letters received by the Assistant Commissioner.
