There are no entries recorded in the Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger for $6.00 for any orders to John Scott dated 3 September 1844. There are entries dated 5 and 20 February 1845 for a $2.00 order and a $4.00 order to Scott dated 3 September; this order could be a combined order for those two entries. Scott’s account in the ledger notes four orders on collector dated 3 September 1844 totaling $14.00. This pay order likely corresponds to one of those four orders. (Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger, 24, 30, 143.)
