| Correspondence between W. H. Loyd and J. William Gayner This is a collection of letters between W. H. Loyd and J. William Gayner after the plant had closed and Mr. Gayner had returned to work at Gayner Glass Works in Salem, NJ. The letters reveal a warm relationship between the two men as Mr. Loyd tirelessly tries to interest someone in restarting the plant and Mr. Gayner constantly inquires about the plant and often reflects on how things could have gone differently. Both sides of the conversation across two years give insights into how each saw the failure of the company.  The collection contains  scans of both original letters  received by Mr. Loyd and carbon copies of letters sent by Mr. Loyd. Unfortunately, not every letter was preserved, so  some responses refer to letters not included in the collection. Access to the originals  courtesy of Justin Stoudt. These were scanned by Dennis Bratcher and converted to text. Both the scan of originals and the text version are included. Handwritten letters were transcribed from both the originals and the scans.
