There are no separate entries recorded in the Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger for any orders to George Stiles dated 18 January 1845. Stiles’s account in the ledger notes twenty-four orders on collector dated 18 January 1845 totaling $44.00. This and the other extant pay order to Stiles dated 18 January 1845 likely correspond to two of those twenty-four orders. (Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger, 137.)
