Description

Multiple notices (Apr 8, 1865) from Wm. A. Platt identifying himself as Receiver and directing redemption of circulating notes per Superior Court order indicate the bank had been closed/placed in receivership and assets are being distributed. No articles mention depositors running or temporary suspension/reopening — this is a permanent closure/receivership. I corrected OCR minor spacing issues but did not alter dates or substantive content.
