In the year 1837 my mother (residing in New York City)
visited Kirtland Ohio, at which time she received in change a $2 bill; I have
it in a good <state> of preser==vation; it reads thus:
Kirtland Ohio March 4 1837 No. 1252 A
The Kirtland Safety Society Bank will pay two dollars on
demand to S Perkins or bearer
J Smith jr. Cash. S Rigdon Pres.
If you have a museum of history, or Cabinet of
Curiosities appertaining to your community, maybe you or your society would
like the above price $5 (Samuel A. Moore, Letter to Wilford Woodruff, September
