Summary: This page contains a letter dated 22nd April 1863 from Perkins, Bacon & Co to C. McNab of the Bank of British North America, explaining an error where a $1 Montreal note with a facial imprint 'TWO' was sent instead of a $2 note. The letter expresses regret for the error and mentions both $1 and $2 notes were being printed at the same time, leading to the mix-up. The letter is signed by J.W. Belle on behalf of Perkins, Bacon & Co and references Messrs Bryan Donkin & Co.
