MS (DLC: TJ Papers, 146:25347); undated; entirely in TJ’s hand.

These notes may have served as TJ’s working draft for the preceding document. His emendations mostly reflect information the administration received on or soon after 6 Nov. It is unclear why he canceled the entry for George Pollock, who accepted an appointment in December (Claiborne to TJ, 2 Dec.).
