At the 12 August 1843 Nauvoo City Council meeting, the council ordered that various city officers, including those listed here, be paid for their services. This order was issued 4 December 1843. The transaction for Hyrum Smith was recorded in the Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger on 11 December 1843. (Nauvoo City Council Minute Book, 186–187; Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger, 58; see also Pay Order, Willard Richards to William Clayton for Benjamin Warrington, ca. 12 Aug. 1843; Pay Order, Willard Richards to William Clayton for William W. Phelps, 29 Sept. 1843; Pay Order, Willard Richards to William Clayton for Sylvester Emmons, 29 Sept. 1843; and Pay Order, Willard Richards to William Clayton for John Taylor, 4 Dec. 1843.)

TEXT: After each dollar amount there is an “x” (not reproduced here), presumably added by William Clayton to keep track of which transactions he had entered into the Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger. Clayton also inserted “Entered” before each name.

The transaction for Kimball was recorded in the Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger on 11 December 1843, though the amount given in the ledger is $3.00. An insertion below for the entry for George J.
