1From John Adams to James Wilkinson, 16 November 1804 (Adams Papers)
I received your letter and have endeavoured to recollect the conversation you mention, soon after my Election to the Presidents Office. Much of it is still fresh in my memory, but the orders you think you received from me relative to the uniform of the Army have no traces in my mind. I recollect saying that I should look to you for all necessary information and representations respecting the...
2From John Adams to John Quincy Adams, 16 November 1804 (Adams Papers)
Last Night, my Dear Son, I received your kind Letter of the 3d of the Month and hold myself under great Obligations for so much information of various kinds at once. It is my determination to be a better correspondent than I was last Winter. I never explored that route through New Castle and Frenchtown but am very glad you have found it, because I believe it will Save you many an unpleasant...
3To James Madison from William Ellery, 16 November 1804 (Madison Papers)
The confidence I reposed in you the last session of Congress I have found, as I expected, was well placed. One favour conferred encourages the receiver, on a like occasion, to request another. The eager pursuit of Offices has not abated in this State. It has become so ardent as to excite bitter dissentions among the competitors, their adherents, and expectants. Amidst this contest and...

Last night I received your letter of the 9th. instant, inclosing the residue of the hundred Dollar note, which you had before transmitted to me with two other notes of one hundred dollars each, the receipt of which two bank notes and the half was acknowledged in my last.

8From Thomas Jefferson to Benjamin Lincoln, 16 November 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
A pressure of business since my return to this place has prevented so early an acknolegement of your favor of Aug. 29. as I ought to have made, and the remittance of the sum due for duties on articles you were so kind as to recieve & forward, and which have come safely to hand. I now repair the omission by inclosing you a note of the Branch bank of the US. at this place on that of Boston for...

11To Thomas Jefferson from John Vaughan, 16 November 1804 (Jefferson Papers)
I believe Mr Dunbar has written to you respecting Mr Sauvé, Mr Detriant & Mr Debigny (I think) Delegates from New Orleans, lest I should be mistaken in my conjectures. I have taken the liberty to enclose to you an extract of his letter to me relative to them, as they had not an opportunity of bringing letters with them from him, on account of the distance & their departure having taken place...
