Footnotes
Page numbers for the Book of the Law of the Lord and Trustee-in-Trust Ledger A were often written in the margins to indicate where the information from the Tithing Daybook had been copied.
There appears to have been a daybook used to keep records previous to “Tithing Daybook B”. There are a few references to a “Daybook A” in Tithing Daybook B. Some of the information recorded in the no longer extant Tithing Daybook A appears to have been inscribed into the Book of the Law of the Lord.

This figure was based on the rate of one dollar per day of work and one-tenth of the number of days in the year minus Sundays, as Sunday was not considered a workday. See, for example, the entries throughout the Tithing Daybook and the Book of the Law of the Lord noting donations of thirty-one dollars being “Labor in full to Octr. 12th. 1842” or “payment in full for 1 years labor Tything.” (Tithing Daybook B, 8; Book of the Law of the Lord, Book A, p. 34.)

The treasury orders and Nauvoo House Association stock circulated in the place of currency, which was often scarce in Nauvoo. So, an individual holding a treasury order for $10 or two shares of Nauvoo House stock for $100 could use these in the place of currency and have them recorded as their donation.

Though referenced in Tithing Daybook B, the record book designated Tithing Daybook A is apparently no longer extant. It is unclear if it was lost or misplaced in Nauvoo or after church records were transported to Utah. (See Tithing Daybook B, 176, 222.)
Images of Tithing Daybook C are available through the Church History Library’s catalog. (Tithing Daybook C, Trustee-in-Trust Tithing Daybooks, CHL.)
