This is an interesting piece of Confederate financial history. This is what is known as a Confederate Interim Deposit Receipt. These papers were given to prove that a financial transaction had happened and that there is a promise to do something in the future. This one was approved by the Confederate Government on February 17th 1864 and was stating that there would be Confederate savings bonds issued when available. The piece is on pre-printed paper that measures 8-1/2 inches by 4 inches in overall size. The blanks have been filled in using fine brown ink. It is dated from the Charlotte, North Carolina office on March 25th 1864. This pattern is listed as NC-22 in the Confederate Treasury Certificate book by Tremmel, Fricke and Davis. It is stating that R.H. Morrison had purchased $100 in Bonds. On the back side of paper it has a hand written transfer of ownership. What a great little piece of history!
