According to the Courant, the Springfield Republican reported that the Morgan Envelope Company was understood to be interested in carrying out the stamped envelope contract with the Plimpton Manufacturing Company.
Also according to the Springfield Republican:
Elisha Morgan had left for New York by the time the Springfield Republican ran its story.
The Plimpton Manufacturing Company was informed that it had been awarded the contract for stamped envelopes on September 23, 1874.
The Courant confirmed and described the interest the Morgan Envelope Company had in this contract on September 29, 1874.
The Plimpton name is variously reported at “Plimpton” (accurate) and “Plympton” (inaccurate) in the Courant, but this article provides a rare instance of both spellings. The Courant referred to the “Plimpton company,” while the Springfield Republican referred to the “Plympton company.”
“Had it been signed, the contract would probably have been awarded to the Morgan company.”
Unattributed. “Brief mention,” Hartford Daily Courant, September 25, 1874, page 2.
