In the Matter of Edgar M. Gregory a Bankrupt
No 1042

I hereby certify that is [sic] only claim which has come into my hands as proved is one by Francis Ruthman for $1704.91 amount due on promissary note on certificate of deposit dated Nov. 10" 1854.--of Gregory, Ingalsbe and Company. Proved at Cincinnati, Ohio, March 3" 1869.

(I have not been able to identify Ruthman, either in the statement of Gregory, Ingalsbe, and Co, or in Gregory's statement of his creditors. Perhaps he purchased the certificate from the original holder.)

No other proofs of debt against the above Estate have come to my hands.
