Samuel Vaughan to Humphrey Marshall, April 13, 1785. Vaughan, writing from Philadelphia, says "I want to send to England a box of plants & seeds as complete as may be. I am uncertain whether the present advanced season would admit of sending them, but what can with propriety be sent now should [wish to be ?] by first opportunity--the others to be sent early in the fall...." This letter is not transcribed in Darlington.
Pencil notes on the page, including the erroneous interpretation of the signature as "James," probably were added by the manuscript dealer from whom these letters were acquired.
