2. Robert Preston reached London on 22 Oct., but told JA that he had unaccountably lost the letters that he was bringing to London from Jefferson. Preston did not accurately remember to whom these letters were addressed, but soon thereafter he found them. They included this letter, and Jefferson to JA, also 11 Oct. (
Adams Papers). See JA to Jefferson, 24 Oct., and 4 Nov. (
DLC: Jefferson Papers; printed in
Jefferson, Papers
, 8:663–664, 9:10–11), and AA to Jefferson,
25 Oct., and
24 Nov., both below.
