The following list includes 139 documents that have been omitted from
volume 15 of the Adams Family Correspondence and 9
documents that have come to the editors’ attention since the publication of the volume
in which they would have appeared. Each entry consists of the date, correspondents, form
in which the letter exists (Dft, FC-Pr, LbC,
RC, Tr, etc.), location, and publication, if known. All
copies that exist in some form in the Adams Papers are noted.
The letters between John Adams and John Quincy Adams in their
public roles that have been omitted from the Family
Correspondence will be considered for inclusion in forthcoming volumes of Series
III, General Correspondence and Other Papers of the Adams Statesmen.
