{"value"=>"<p>Documents were numbered and organized by the USSCs Archive Department. Brief descriptions of the numbered items can be found in New York, NY Archives volume 13. These are the main chronological sequences of numbered letters and reports received:</p> <p> <ul class=\"list\"> <li>1-1078 (1861 Jun-1862 Dec)</li> <li> 1551-3353 (1863 Jan-Dec)</li> <li>3589-8203 (1864 Jan-Dec)</li> <li>11001-12138 (1865 Jan-Oct)</li> <li>12808-12905 (1865 Mar-1866 May)</li></ul></p> <p> These sequences are followed by various supply records (reports, accounts, receipts, invoices, requisitions), employment contracts and applications, reports from various departments and agents in the field, requests from soldiers, letters regarding donations, document distribution records, items relating to special relief, and other random documents. These items are often for the same year as the letters and reports received immediately preceding, though not always (especially towards the end, i.e. after 12138).</p> <p> Most items from 8301 to 10028 (accounts of stock, issues, disbursements, and invoices), and items from 10909-11000 (express receipts), are not present and were presumably destroyed by the USSC. Many early documents, especially those regarding hospital transports in 1862, have two sets of numbers. Most items bear penciled markings from prior conservation treatment.</p>"}
