John Vaughan to Thomas Jefferson, 29 April 1820

From John Vaughan

Philad: 29 April 1820

D sir

I am gratified by the receipt of your favor of 24th The Seal is elegant simple & Classical & I cannot doubt the superior success of an institution So liberally planned; I hope the jealousy of those who are disappointed because the managemt is not given to them will be perfectly harmless—altho’ I Suppose those attached to Wm & Mary, will try to give importance to their efforts

I have received 750$ from Mr Barret the Bursar & enclose a receipt for his accot to serve as a Voucher—

Whenever your remittance of 650$ is announced as ready I shall immediately attend to your wishes, by procuring Dfts of Girard & remitting 444$ to appleton & 206 to Dodge—

M Correa is tolerably well, but as you may concieve anxious at the possible issue of passing events both here, Europe & S America—I do not find that he has absolutely fixed the moment of Departure

I remain D sir Your friend as ever

Jn Vaughan
