Circular 10 collectors and receipers in relation 10 treas

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,


August 25, lS46
In all cases where treasury notes have been, or
may be received for public dues, previous to their
being transmitted to the department, the officer re-
ceiving them will, by the mail before that by
which it is intended to forward them, notify the
Secretary Of the Treasury of such intenton stating
at the time the amount of the notes and description
Of them.


To insure greater safety the notes should be cut
in half, and right hand halves first forwarded-the
left hand halves to be transmitted after the receipt
Of the first halves have been acknowledged.
BY the mail next succeeding their transmission
the officer will report to the secretary the fact of such
transmission, again stating the amount and descrp-
ton of the notes.


Immediately on the receipt of any notes by a
public officer care must be taken to comply with
the former instructions Of the department with re-
spect to canccing them; this must be done on the
day they are received, by punching two or more
holes through the notes, avoiding defacng the date
number, and rate Of interest, and writing on the
face Of each, in large characters, "Cancelled by
A. b. collector" or &C. D., receiver" the case
maybe.


r. J. WALKER,


Secretary Of the Treasury.
