Made by Evans & Cogswell, Columbia, SC. They were the most prominent publishing, stationary, and printing house in the Confederacy. Made payable to James Guinard Gibbes. He was a highly influential business figure, cotton merchant, and industrialist in Columba SC. During the war he was deeply involved in financial operations and blockade running. A "third of exchange" refers to the third copy of a specialized financial document. In the 19th century, before modern telegraphs or electronic transfers, bills of exchange were written in sets of three (First, Second, and Third) and mailed via different ships or routes to ensure safe arrival. Once one copy was paid, the other two became void.
