Tuesday 15th: although New Yorker William Keteltas had previous correspondence with TJ, he formally introduced himself to the president on 8 Jan. 1805. Keteltas then dined with TJ on Tuesday, 15 Jan. (Brockholst Livingston to TJ, 2 Jan.; Appendix II). TJ recorded two more dinners held on Tuesdays the 15th of a month, one on 15 Dec. 1807 and one on 15 Nov. 1808. Neither of those dinners included Keteltas (MS dinner guest records at MHi).
