Military Bills of Exchange were used prior to 1813 in Quebec to purchase supplies and pay troops there. This specimen dated September 1, 1806 is interesting because it is for 2500 pounds, a huge sum at that time. It is signed by John Craigie who was Commissary General from 1784 to 1808. He was dismissed at this time for misappropriating funds. A rare military Canadian document and historically important.*
