On the verso of the check, in FDR's hand is written: "Pay to order of/ James Jackson/ Treas./ Franklin D. Roosevelt." Below FDR's signature of endorsement is the black ink stamp "Pay to order of/ Harvard Class of 1904" followed by the signature of Mr. Jackson. Below Mr. Jackson's signature on the verso of the check below FDR's signature is the blue ink stamp "Pay to the Order of/ State Street Trust Co./ For Account of Harvard Class of 1904/ Robert H. Gardiner, Treas." Further, on the verso of the check is a green ink stamp clearing the check by the Franklin Bank of St. Louis, as well as a red ink stamp clearing the check by the State Street Trust Co. of Boston for Harvard University.
