MS (DLC: TJ Papers, 146:25351); undated; entirely in TJ’s hand, on reverse of another set of Notes on Appointments, printed at 30 Aug.
TJ likely began this list of candidates sometime in May, when he offered several of them recess appointments (TJ to John Armstrong of New York, 26 May; Memorandum on Appointments, 29 May). TJ subsequently added information about the potential nomination of Isaac Neufville, whose father’s illness was reported in a letter of 4 July from Peter Freneau, which TJ received on 13 July.
