content: The unregistered correspondence also contains three subseries. The first consists of letters and telegrams received by the Assistant Adjutant General (or in some cases the Acting Assistant Adjutant General), January 1867–April 1869. They are primarily from Commissioner Howard, his Disbursing Officer, and agents and superintendents in Arkansas, relating to such routine matters as requests for transportation orders and requests for or acknowledgments of receipt of War Department and Bureau publications and issuances. Most of the letters and telegrams bear file numbers that do not seem to correspond with the registers of letters and telegrams received.
