Title
Counterfeit Certificates - Stolen Certificate Paper
Description
John Pierce hires Theophilus Parsons to investigate counterfeit certificates. Pierce identifies Nat. Carter of Newberry Port, Massachusetts and John Welles of Walpole, Massachusetts as investigative leads for Parsons. Pierce notes that the paper and printing on the counterfeit certificates is legitimate. Thus, Pierce concludes that the certificate paper must have been stolen from his office in New York.
