Sent to Jefferson by John Vaughan, who wrote from Philadelphia on June 25, 1803: “. . . I also enclose a Copy of the proceedings of the Connecticut Agricultural Society of which I made mention in a late letter--of
which I take the liberty of requesting your acceptance . . .”
Jefferson replied on June 28: “
. . . I retain the copy of the proceedings of the Connecticut Agricultural society according to your permission with thanks
for the favor. their plan is new, and useful. a great deal will be said which would never have been written, and the finding
a redacteur for so much of it exactly as is worthy of preservation was a happy idea. from the variety of witnesses to the
same fact we derive a more satisfactory idea of it than from a more handsome statement by a single one . . .
”
