At the bottom left is a faded ink inscription calculating interest to the principal. On the reverse is Schumacher's signature. The bank stamp is at the right of center on the face, with the month and date faded, but appearing to read "Jun 5" while the year clearly reads "1869." With pest holes, extensive staining, creases, edge tears, folds, and the removed signature, the condition is fair.
