Letter

John Marron, American · May 25, 1847

The engraving firm reports that the signing of the stamp contract was delayed by the absence of Mr. [George W.] Hatch, but he has returned, and the contract is enclosed with this letter. They regret that the language proposed by them [not otherwise described] was not included in the written agreement, but that they are not disposed to be difficult about it. They ask that a counterpart, signed by the postmaster general, be sent to them.
