content: The two volumes of registers of rations issued to freedmen and planters, 1865–1866, 1 (286) and 2 (288), are arranged by "freedmen" and "planters." "Freedmen" entries are arranged chronologically, and "planters" entries are arranged alphabetically by initial letter of the surname of the planter. Volume 1 (286) also contains a few special orders issued by the provost marshal general of freedmen that are duplicated in volume 75 of the special orders issued (May 1864–June 1865) described below. The Bureau created the 1866 entries.
