"This counterfeit is printed from photo-etched plates on three pieces
of thin paper, with coarse fiber between the two pieces next to the face
of the note. The color of the seal and numbers is good, and in general
appearance the note is fairly deceptive. The number of the specimen
at hand is L726042A."
Very truly yours,

Governor.
