Notes:

R. R. Livingston Papers
[This draft includes a paragraph deleted from RC. After paragraph ending on top of page 851 (Wharton, 4:849-851) the deletion reads:
"An advertisement in the Amsterdam Gazette has been the cause of much inquiry here as it leads the world to think you have made considerable loans in Holland or that you wish to impose such an opinion upon the world. I imagine this has been inserted without your order more particularly as it announces a public character which you would not certainly assume in the united provinces without their concurrence. [ ] will I dare say caution your zealous friends against such imprudence in future as serve to throw an air of contempt & ridicule upon your mission."
LCF, 23 Aug. 1956
