There are two entries recorded 30 January and 13 February 1845 in the Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger for $1.00 for orders to Armstead Moffett dated 23 August 1844. Only one pay order for $1.00 dated 22 August 1844 is extant. This order likely corresponds to one of those ledger entries. Moffett’s account in the ledger notes twelve orders on collector dated 23 August 1844 totaling $20.00. This and the other extant pay order for Moffett dated 23 August 1844 likely correspond to two of those twelve orders. (Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger, 21, 23, 149; see also Pay Order, William Clayton to Nauvoo City Collector for Armstead Moffett, 23 Aug. 1844–B.)
