Confederate States of America Deposit Form - 1883

Deposit Form for bonds purchased from the Confederate States of America Deposit Form issued in 1883. This document summarized CSA bonds deposited with the National Safe Deposit Company, Limited of England.

The purpose of the British Bondholder Committee was to pool all of the outstanding Confederate Bonds purchased by England with an attempt to collect on them. Bondholders would deposit their bonds into an account and were given a Scrip Certificate in exchange. Payment was never made on the bonds since the Confederacy no longer existed after the War and the U.S. would not honor the payment.
