Letter from Samuel A. Moore (non-LDS) to Wilford Woodruff Attempting to Sell a $2 Kirtland Safety Society Note (September 14, 1893)

  

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 14, 1893, CR 1 171, Church History Library)
