71From Thomas Jefferson to Dr. John Vaughan, 17 July 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly recieved your favor of the 13th. you very truly state that your suggestion that the term of the marshal of the district of Delaware was near expiring first brought my attention to that circumstance: that I asked if you knew of any person proper for the appointment & who would accept of it; that you said you did not. I then begged that you would consider of it, & would on your...
72From Thomas Jefferson to John Vaughan, 15 September 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I received some time ago from you the inclosed paper, but not being certain of the precise point of the enquiry intended, I meant to have had the pleasure of seeing you. In the mean time the malady of the town prevents it, and occasions my setting off for Virginia tomorrow. I presume it might be to know something of the value of the lands: but on this subject a more ignorant person could not...
73Thomas Jefferson to John Vaughan, 13 July 1820 (Jefferson Papers)
I informed you some time ago that I should desire mr Gibson to remit you a sum of about 650.D. to be transmitted to Leghorn , and Marseilles . yet it was not till the 1 st of June I could place in his hands the sum of 444.D.

74From Thomas Jefferson to John Vaughan, 2 May 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
In your letter of Nov. 16. you express a desire to obtain for the Philosophical society an early edition of my Notes on Virginia. I found, when lately at Monticello, a single copy remaining of the original edition printed at Paris, the only one almost perfectly correct, & which never was sold, a few copies only having been printed & given to my friends. I have put this into a box addressed to...

76From Thomas Jefferson to John Vaughan, 16 September 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I am not able to give you any particular account of the paper handed you by mr Lee, as being either the original, or a copy of the declaration of Independence, sent by myself to his grand father. the draught when compleated by myself, with a few verbal amendments, by D r Franklin and mr Adams, two members of the Committee, in their own hand writing, is now in my own possession, and a fair copy...

78From Thomas Jefferson to John Vaughan, 14 January 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved lately from Genl. Wilkinson at St. Louis a package in which the articles in the inclosed list were so insecurely stowed, for a land carriage, that a very large piece of Spar (No. 9) ground most of the others to powder. I shall repack the remains with care and will take the liberty of addressing them to you by the first vessel from this place for Philadelphia, for the acceptance of...
79Thomas Jefferson to John Vaughan, 29 June 1819 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letters of May 24. 27. & June 19. have been recieved in due time: and in the last came quadruplicates of the remittances you have been so kind as to make for me. as I shall have to replace some balance to you, permit me to add a little domestic article to it, to wit a small box of Vanilla, which I was always able to find in Philadelphia but is not to be had here. in Paris & Philada I...
80IV. 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. There was so little within his particular knowlege, worthy of being noted in memory of Dr. Franklin, that he communicates it only in proof of his respect for the desire of the committee who did him the honor of calling on him, and of whom Mr. Vaughan was one. RC ( PPAP );...
