Did you get my message about Thomas Jefferson’s reliance on Vattel in writing the Declaration of Independence?

Yes I did. Jefferson made notes in the margins of his copies of Vattel’s book. As far as I can tell the notes referred to other books not the DoI, although some ideas are straight out of Vattel. Since it’s OT I’ll freepmail some detailed info.
