¶ From Edward Livingston. Letter not found. 22 September 1806. Acknowledged in JM to Livingston, 4 Nov. 1806, as enclosing a document (DNA: RG 59, DL, vol. 15). Although not described in JM’s letter, the enclosure was probably one of the several copies of Jean-Etienne-Marie Portalis to Jean Baptiste Victor Castillon, 5 June 1806, which JM reported receiving from various correspondents in New Orleans (JM to William C. C. Claiborne, 12 Nov. 1806, ibid.). For Portalis’s letter, see Daniel Clark to JM, 22 Sept. 1806, and n. 1.
