From John Vaughan to Jefferson Nov. 21, 1803: “. . . D Priestly notwithstanding his feeble state of body still retains a Vigorous mind, he . . . is now dictating a reply
to M
r. Linns last pamphlet on the Socratic dispute, in which he has forgotten to treat the D
r. P. with
Courteousness & indeed treats him with great harshness . . .”
On December 12 Priestley wrote from Northumberland that he was sending the pamphlet: “I take the liberty to send you
a second defence of my pamphlet about Socrates, on the 16
th page of which you will find that I have undertaken the task you were pleased to recommend to me . . .”
The pamphlet was sent on December 20 by John Vaughan from Philadelphia, together with a copy of the new edition of the Phlogiston:
“By desire of D
r. Priestley I have sent per Post for your acceptance, the New Edition of his pamphlet on
Phlogiston
, & his last answer to Lynn . . .”
Jefferson wrote to Priestley from Washington on January 29, 1804: “
Your favor of Dec. 12. came duly to hand, as did the 2
d. letter to D
r Linn and the treatise on Phlogiston for which I pray you to accept my thanks . . .
