AD, NyKaJJH. Columns of names have been consolidated into paragraph form with added punctuation. Numbers indicating the number of guests in a party and the total number invited have been omitted. The symbol “x” after a guest’s name, apparently indicating nonacceptance of the invitation or nonattendance at the event, has been retained. The abbreviation “Do.” has been replaced with the name intended. Persons not previously identified or whose names are obscure are identified in the end notes whenever possible.
