ALS : American Philosophical Society I have hitherto deferred troubling you with a letter in hopes that I might hear something in this critical time worth your notice.

15To Benjamin Franklin from John Vaughan, 19 May 1778 (Franklin Papers)
ALS : American Philosophical Society Since I had the pleasure of writing to you on the 21 Ult. nothing has come within my knowledge worth your notice.

19To Benjamin Franklin from John Vaughan, 10 June 1783 (Franklin Papers)
ALS : American Philosophical Society I am Somewhat Surprised to find your letters are of So early a date; I have recd a letter from Mr Jay to Same purport;—all I can say upon the Subject is that the Genl. letters given me, were those intended to go by Mr Jefferson two months before; Mr Morris gave me Some letters the morning I came away, directed If I recollect right, to Mess.
