I can't keep burning our hosts' bandwidth with the money order that was never deposited, cashed, or processed, but a link to it is right here.
Something you may wish to investigate Jim... There is a page that follows the Waldman #10 that shows a $2116.91 total. If you look at the top left of the #10 you posted you will see the same number as a subtotal and first entry on that tape.... they go on to add to that total to reach the final total of $3804.67.
The PROBLEM is that Bank VP Wilmouth tells a much different story about the deposit, the date (3/15, not 3/13) and what the Fed Res Bank would have done and when. The MO should have a 3/18/63 stamp from the Fed Reserve at the very least. The numbers $1536.11 and $6178 have no relationship to this deposit... and the $21.45 transaction identified as Hidell's MO was actually the American Express check....
The other problem being that this USPS Money Order would not be considered "Checks on other Chicago Banks" but as a "Check on out of Town Banks" in the $9992.43 total. There is no $21.45 in those columns adding to that total.

That Kleins would microfilm the envelope and coupon yet not the money order is also very suspect. John's section on this in H&L is quite thorough with documents not offered elsewhere. At some point along the way the COST for shipping these rifles via Lipschultz is also changed from $.76/lb to what LOOKS like $5.27 for a total of $3953 instead of the $570. or am I reading this wrong?
