Transcription Notes:
Left misspellings as written (assistant, believing, relieved, suspended) do not hit [enter] at the end of the written line. It gets all jacked up when the next reader opens in with different settings. Just allow the program to move your words to the next line. Sept.–Oct. 1867 Subassistant Commissioner D. S. Hunsaker
