There are no entries recorded in the Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger for $8.00 to Vernon Bruce dated 5 October 1844. Bruce’s account in the ledger notes four orders on collector dated 5 October 1844 totaling $12.00. This and the two other extant pay orders for Mackley dated 5 October 1844 likely correspond to three of those four orders. (Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger, 141; Pay Order, William Clayton to Nauvoo City Collector for Vernon Bruce, 5 Oct. 1844–B; Pay Order, William Clayton to Nauvoo City Collector for Vernon Bruce, 5 Oct. 1844–C.)
