There are no entries recorded in the Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger for $0.50 for any orders to John D. Lee dated 5 October 1844. There is an entry recorded 20 February 1845 for $4.00 for three orders to Lee. There are two extant $0.50 pay orders to Lee dated 5 October 1844, either of which could correspond to that ledger entry. Lee’s account in the ledger notes twenty-one orders on collector dated 5 October 1844 totaling $40.00. This and the seven other extant pay orders for Lee dated 5 October 1844 likely correspond to eight of those nine orders.
