First Hawaii overprint notes (July 1942). Where are they?

The first four $1 Hawaii overprinted silver certificates were signed by General Delos C. Emmons, Admiral Chester W. Nimitz and Col. Thomas H. Green (JAG). One was given to Gen. Emmons, one kept by Col. Green. The one offered to Adm. Nimitz was declined. The fourth (and presumably the third as well) was intended for the Army Adjutant General as part of the historical collection.

 

Does anyone have information on these $1 certificates? (The Army Center for Military History folks drew a blank.)

 

Thanks!

Had a research assistant check. The notes do not appear to be in the papers of either Gen. Emmons or Gen. Green.

Please update anything you find. One would be real nice in a collection of Emergency notes.
