Letters Not Printed in Full
EDITORIAL NOTE
In keeping with the editorial method established for this edition, the chronological series includes “in one form or another every available letter known to have been written by or to Thomas Jefferson” (Vol. 1:xv). Most letters are printed in full. In some cases, the letter is not printed but a detailed summary appears at the document’s date (for an example, see Benjamin H. Latrobe to TJ, 24 Oct. 1802). Other letters have been described in annotation, which, for the period covered by this volume, are listed in this appendix. Arranged in chronological order, this list includes for each letter the correspondent, date, and location in the volumes where it is described. Among the letters included here are brief letters of transmittal, multiple testimonials recommending a particular candidate for Office, repetitive letters from a candidate seeking a post, and official correspondence that the president saw in only a cursory way. In other instances, documents are described in annotation due to the near illegibility of the surviving text. Using the list in this appendix, the table of contents, and Appendix iii (correspondence not found but recorded in Jefferson’s Summary Journal of Letters), readers will be able to reconstruct Jefferson’s chronological epistolary record from 1 July to 12 Nov. 1802.
