This is a folder of forms and correspondence relative to Liberty Bonds from April 5, 1918 to June 9, 1922, plus several undated pieces.
April 5, 1918 Form letter from the U. S. Treasury to American Patriots who subscribed to the First and Second Liberty Loan Bonds urging people to join the Liberty Loan Legion, meaning a person gets four friends to buy bonds. Five subscription cards were enclosed, per the letter, but they did not survive. On the back was a pencil list of 15 people who bought bonds.
No date Letterhead sheet with names of people who bought bonds on each side of the sheet. Most folks bought $50 bonds.
No date Form from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond notifying the local bank of a shipment of bonds on the way.
No date Post Office form in red ink for a registered package.
July 18, 1918 to November 12, 1920 Seven examples of the printed receipt given to a bond purchaser by the bank.
No date Example of a receipt book used for the exchange of bonds
Various dates Examples of receipts for Liberty Bond Loan Issue 1
Various dates Examples of receipts for Liberty Bond Loan Issue 2
Various dates Examples of receipts for Liberty Bond Loan Issue 3
Various dates Examples of receipts for Liberty Bond Loan Issue 4
February 11, 1921 Examples of legal size forms for Issues 1-3 “Notice of Shipment of Temporary Bonds.” On the front was a list of the number of pieces of each denomination from $50-$10,000. On the back were handwritten the serial numbers of each bond in the shipment, e.g., 54 separate seven digit numbers for the $50 denomination bonds. So much work. Whomever received the package had to check all those numbers. There was one example of “Request for Exchange of Temporary Coupon Liberty Bonds for Permanent Bonds” that did not require such detail.
April 24, 1919 Form letter from the U. S. Treasury explaining how the bond money would be used. On the verso was a pencil list of bond purchasers.
November 12, 1921 On a small sheet, Leo Wathen asked the bank to deliver his bonds to a relative.
December 1, 1921 Letter to the bank from S. C. Tarleton, asking for bonds belonging to a relative to be delivered to another relative. This may have to do with an estate.
December 15, 1921 Example of a receipt for credit of the money from bond sales
February 8, 1922 Examples of “Invoice of Shipment” for permanent bonds to replace temporary bonds
April 7, 1922 Carbon of a very long list of bonds sent to Baltimore to be sold--$3700 worth.
April 7, 1922 Example of a note asking Title Guarantee in Baltimore to send bonds they held for safekeeping to a sales house.
April 11, 1922 I think this a receipt for the sale of bonds plus interest.
May 12, 1922 I think this a receipt for the sale of bonds plus interest.
June 7, 1922 This is either a receipt for the sale of bonds or purchase of bonds. I’m not sure which.
June 9, 1922 I think this a receipt for the sale of bonds plus interest.
No date Examples of the following forms: “Request for Exchange of Temporary Coupon Liberty Bonds for Permanent Bonds,” “ Notice of Shipment of Temporary Bonds,” in white and a very pale orange.
