There is an entry recorded 20 February 1845 in the Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger for $6.00 for two orders to Hosea Stout dated 23 August 1844. This pay order for $1.00 and the other extant order for Stout dated 23 August 1844 for $5.00 likely correspond to that entry. Stout’s account in the ledger notes eight orders on collector dated 22 August 1844 totaling $20.00. The two extant pay orders likely correspond to two of those eight orders. (Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger, 29, 156; Pay Order, William Clayton to Nauvoo City Collector for Hosea Stout, 23 Aug. 1844–A.)
