1From Thomas Jefferson to John Vaughan, 13 August 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
A French gentleman (Monsr. De Rieux) a neighbor of mine whom I much esteem, having had a legacy left him by a relation in France, his friends, on account of the depreciation of their paper medium, thought it better to invest the money in goods, and to remit it in that way. They consisted in glass of various kinds, ribbons &c and were to leave Havre in May last addressed to Monsr. Hombert of...
2From Thomas Jefferson to John Vaughan, 16 May 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
Th: Jefferson presents his compliments to Mr. Vaughan. He has sent one of Argand’s double lamps to Mr. Bringhurst to have wickracks fixed to it, and has directed him to deliver it to Mr. Vaughan, when done, for the use of the Philosophical society whose acceptance of it he asks.

3From Thomas Jefferson to John Vaughan, 15 September 1793 (Jefferson Papers)

5IV. Thomas Jefferson to John Vaughan, 22 February 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
Th: Jefferson presents his compliments to Mr. Vaughan and incloses him a copy of a letter he has just sent to Dr. Smith.

6From Thomas Jefferson to John Vaughan, 21 July 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Th: Jefferson presents his compliments to Mr. Vaughan, and finding that the Pragers do not draw at present, he must endeavor to procure any other good bills on London or Amsterdam to a smaller amount for the present moment. If Mr. Vaughan can recommend him any (say to amount of 5000.D.) the drawers having property here to secure us, and not dealing in paper, he will oblige Th:J. Can Mr....
