Fifty letters were written by Henry Morgan to his brother, Edwin Barber Morgan, in Washington, D.C. and New York. The majority were written in Aurora but several were sent from New York City, Columbus, Ohio, and Boston, Mass. Two letters were written by employees of the Morgan Store to Henry and Edwin Morgan. All the letters concern the financial interest which the Morgans owned in the publication of school books, specifically the 5th Reader, the Progressive Reader, and a speller. Henry and Edwin Morgan worked closely with Boston booksellers Sanborn, Ellsworth and Bazin [Oliver L. Sanborn (1825-1881), Oliver Ellsworth ( -1878), and Thomas H. Bazin ( -1880)] in the preparation of contracts and discussions concerning copyright fees and royalties. There are references to an apparent difficulty with Nelson M. Holbrook ( - ), a Boston author, and with the publishing house of H. & E. Phinney of Buffalo, N.Y., especially Henry Frederick Phinney (1816-1875). Henry Morgan also commented occasionally on political events in Aurora and Washington, D.C.
