- Summary
- Has copies of two letters written by Vaughan to Jay on the dispatches which Vaughan took to America for him. One of Feb. 26, 1782 in which he states that he will throw the letters overboard if in danger of capture. On 5 May 1782 V. wrote that the dispatches had been delivered to him but he had then given the letters to Capt. Codman to deliver. Thus V. was mistaken in his earlier statement that he had the public dispatches with him.
