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 inches by 4-1/8th inches in overall size. The blanks have been filled in using fine brown ink. It is dated from the Atlanta, Georgia office on March 28th 1864. This pattern is listed as GA-20 in the Confederate Treasury Certificate book by Tremmel, Fricke and Davis. This is a scarce version and in the book they state that approximately 7,400 examples of the Tremmel GA-20 were issued. It is stating that the buyer had purchased $900 in Bonds. What a great little piece of history!
