A collection of 40 miscellaneous letters, documents and one volume related to John Paul Jones. The collection includes correspondence and documents in English and French which deal with the disposition of the prisoners of war and refitting American ships of war, and Jones's career as U.S. agent in Europe. Also included are Jones's application to the Society of Cincinnati (1783), and a deposition of the officers of the Alliance defending their actions in the engagement between the Bon Homme Richard and the Serapis (1779). Other correspondents include Paul Francois de Quelen duc de La Vauguyon and Antoine Raymond Jean Sartine, comte d'Alby. The volume, bound in red morocco leather, is titled "Unpublished Autograph Letters / JNO Paul Jones" and includes letters by Jones, with some prints and transcriptions; the volume also includes five letters to William Bixby from George H. Richmond, Bookseller, concerning the Jones' letters.
