Excerpt from Report to the Secretary of the Treasury From the First Division National Currency Bureau: Showing Its Origin, Growth, and Present Condition, With Details of Work Done, &C
This order is not issued as a permanency. It is my intention to give the experiment of machinery a full and fair trial, and this order is issued for that purpose.
A reasonably sufficient time will be given for a fair trial, and my future orders will depend on the result of that trial. If it is not more economi cal and better than the present method, its use will not be continued.
You will, therefore, on and after Monday next, receive from the mail the one and two dollar notes, making the customary receipt therefor, and after scaling and trimming deliver them to the Treasurer, and take his receipt. You will keep a perfect record at every step, using all the checks and guards now used in the organization for larger notes, with such additional checks as you may deem proper that do not involve addi tional cost, and may seem to you additional security. You will make a daily report of the amount of notes on hand, amount received from the engraver, the amount delivered to the Treasurer, and the amount in your hands at the close of work on each day, showing under each head the respective quantity of ones and twos, and also aggregating the total amounts of all bills received from the engravers up to the date of the report, with the respective amounts of ones and twos.
You will also keep a daily record, in a book prepared for the purpose, of each day's work, and its cost, for which you will render a weekly statement, or if hereafter ordered, a daily statement.
