Both are for deposits from CTH Palmer, Wells Fargo agent in Folsom. He is depositing Folsom-area gold. The 1860 deposit is 251 ounces, .896 fineness, worth $4,552.54. The 1863 deposit is 68.47 ounces, .928 fineness, worth $1,312.24. Charles T.H. Palmer was a California Gold Rush pioneer who established many businesses (banking, assay, etc.) in the Folsom area, as well as served as Sacramento's first school teacher. Molitor previously worked with Wass as a private coin firm during the California Gold Rush. Here, Palmer (Wells Fargo) is taking in a gold bar for payment, having Molitor melt it (which is why the weight before and after melting is essentially the same), and then Molitor will pay Palmer.
