The bottom has additional text neatly written “These bills were sealed up with the intention of transmitting the knowledge of the monstrous (?) on the public to posterity.....”. This was written in 1836 or 1837 when there was a major depression and the writer was warning the readers about possibly inflation. Deserves additional research. The back of the sheet has an autograph of Judge Archibald McNeill with a note that he died in Bayer County Texas with a newspaper obituary stating he died at 60 years of age of typhoid fever. Interesting and historic record of New York and Northeastern scrip notes post the War of 1812. ��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������Est. $1000-1500
