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 4-1/4th inches in overall size. The blanks have been filled in using fine brown ink. It is dated from the Lynchburg, Virginia office on June 28th 1864. It was signed by W.T. Booker, who was appointed April 1, 1864, as Depositary (bond approved June 3, 1864) and had earlier served as the assistant to William M. Blackford, Depositary (ca. 1863-64) and Cashier of the Exchange Bank of Virginia branch in Lynchburg. It records that the deposits were by The Citizens Savings Bank at Lynchburg. This pattern is listed as VA-96 in the Confederate Treasury Certificate book by Tremmel, Fricke and Davis. This is a scarce version and in the book they state that approximately 1,200 examples of the Tremmel VA96 were issued. It is stating that the buyer had purchased $1,000 in Bonds. What a great little piece of history!
