Transcription Notes:
L.R. = Letters Received ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-04-16 10:46:23 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-04-16 11:15:19 Please transcribe as written. Place comments here, rather than within the transcribed text. Use [[?]] for unknown text, and just "Save" so another transcriber can decipher the unknown words. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-04-16 19:57:15 With the exception of the first sentence, this entire transcription seems to be from some other project relating to telegrams from 1865. After contacting the SI TC, I erased this faulty transcription. ----------- Please review because I wasn't sure what the scribble under the right side under bureau's were. Thanks ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-04-17 16:43:12 Changed "R F & A S" to R F & A L" (Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands); Cap. "L" and cap. "S" in cursive may look extremely similar, but you will see Bureau (Bu) of R F & A L on almost every page of the Freedmen's Bureau documents. Otherwise, use context as your guide. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-04-17 17:16:35
