Linus Plimpton returned home after a trip to Washington.
The post office department had accepted Plimpton’s new dies for the stamped envelopes.
So far, I haven’t found any reporting on Plimpton traveling to Washington.
The Springfield Union reported that Plimpton retained the contract for stamped envelopes on October 8, 1874.
The Courant reported that the company would commence printing stamped envelopes tomorrow, with a “large force of employes and presses enough to turn out probably 500,000 envelopes a day.”
Tomorrow, the post office department will grant Plimpton an extension of about a week in order to comply with the terms of the stamped envelopes contract.
Unattributed. “The Plimpton company,” Hartford Daily Courant, October 12, 1874, page 2.
