Peter A. Schenck was being considered for an appointment as marshal for New York (Gallatin to TJ, 9 May).

my list: probably TJ’s ongoing appointments list (see Appendix I). All the names above appear there, although sometimes with variant dates. Wagner’s list has not been found, but it apparently consisted of individuals to whom the State Department had issued recess commissions. Thus Daniel Coffin, whose appointment gained Senate approval at the end of the preceding session, would not have been included in Wagner’s list. Others did not appear because their appointments went through other departments or were solely at the president’s discretion. TJ likely sent the list to Wagner and received it back with Wagner’s explanations before his departure for Monticello on 15 July (TJ to the Senate, 26 Feb.; MB description begins James A. Bear, Jr., and Lucia C. Stanton, eds., Jefferson’s Memorandum Books: Accounts, with Legal Records and Miscellany, 1767-1826, Princeton, 1997, The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Second Series description ends , 2:1160).
