1. The enclosure from British minister Robert Liston has not been identified.

On 25 May, Liston and his wife had dined with GW as his guests. Henrietta Marchant Liston described the invitation in her travel journal entry for 26 May as “a compliment commonly paid to a Foreign Minister on his first arrival.” She continued: “This Entertainment though sombre & formal had an air of Magnificence. There was a Plateau ornamented with French figures, two Courses of French cookery served up in the American style & a Desert. … The President during dinner drinks Wine with every Lady, & with most of the Gentlemen. He gives no toast after dinner. Though this was not a scene of animation or hilarity, it pleased me upon the whole by a look of respectability & perfect propriety” (North, Travel Journals of Henrietta Liston, description begins Louise V. North. The Travel Journals of Henrietta Marchant Liston: North America & Lower Canada, 1796–1800. Lanham, Md., 2014. description ends 8–9).
