Abstract:
3 documents notarized by Palmer G. Wood, including one Public Instrument of Protest and two copies of a partially printed notice. The Protest attests that Wood was requested by Quong Sing Tie Kee to present a money draft at the Bank of California and demand payment, which was refused, causing Wood to protest against the maker of the draft. Copy of the draft for $215 in gold from L. H. Hershfield & Bro. of Helena, Montana, to the Bank of California included. Notices filled out to L. H. Hershfield & Bro., noting the bank refused payment of a $215 draft and a $500 draft, "and the said Draft having been dishonored, the same was this day protested by me for the non-payment thereof, and the holders look to you for the payment thereof." N.B. The Bank of California experienced a panic in August 1875 which caused it to close. Aaron and Lewis Hershfield were prominent Jewish bankers in Montana.
