F . Houston, Secretary of the Treasury; John Burke, Treasurer of the United States; portrait of Jackson; series of 1914. "This is a very poor counterfeit printed from photo-mechanical plates on two pieces of paper with coarse red and blue silk threads between to imitate the genuine fiber. The specimen at hand bears serial number F1311833A. The workmanship on this counterfeit is so crude that its spurious character should be readily detected by any one accustomed to scrutinizing money." Very truly yours, B E N J . STRONG Governor
