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 8-1/4ths inches by 3-7/8th inches in overall size. The blanks have been filled in using brown ink brown ink that has faded quite a bit. You can see int he one image that I adjusted the color to make it a little easier to read. It is dated from the Griffin , Georgia office on March 31st 1864. This pattern is listed as GA-71 in the Confederate Treasury Certificate book by Tremmel, Fricke and Davis. This is a scarce version and in the book they state that approximately 880 examples of the Tremmel GA-100 were issued. It is stating that the buyer had purchased $300 in Bonds. What a great little piece of history!
