There is an entry recorded 10 December 1844 in the Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger for $3.00 for an order to Duncan McArthur dated 5 October 1844. This pay order likely corresponds to that entry. McArthur’s account in the ledger notes nine orders on collector dated 5 October 1844 totaling $24.00. This and the three other extant pay orders for McArthur dated 5 October 1844 likely correspond to four of those nine orders.
