There are no entries recorded in the Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger for $1.00 for any orders to William H. Edwards dated 24 August 1844. Edwards’s account in the ledger notes eight orders on collector dated 24 August 1844 totaling $14.00. This and the three other extant pay orders for Edwards dated 24 August 1844 likely correspond to four of those eight orders. (Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger, 21, 144; see also Pay Order, William Clayton to Nauvoo City Collector for William H.
