Oh, Joanne, I meant only text in English, but it seems you extended that to the French too... Well, that`s even better, perhaps.
Section 16, just as 13 & 14, is PL OK.
Thank you and all the best!

A-ha, it seems that instead of quoting the previous message, I edited it, having created a new one...
Well, I hope that`s not a problem.

No problem. My French is non-existent (as you no doubt detected), but I rely on the principle that everything is translated phonetically!
I've posted section 17 for you (Note F). It took me a while to figure out that when Jefferson writes 15-16, it's actually a fraction (15/16).
Thanks for listening!

No, to tell the truth I didn`t notice it - being y own French for sure not better than your)
No PL issues detected, Joanne. I believe I would have had even bigger problems to understand those fractions, if I did try to read that for the first time.I've posted section 17 for you (Note F). It took me a while to figure out that when Jefferson writes 15-16, it's actually a fraction (15/16).
Be happy!

Sec 18 PL notes:
I agree with you about not reading “Notes on His Accomplishments” which is indicated as section title in the MW, for I don`t see it in the text. But I also believe it would be better to say “Appendix, note G” instead of simply “Note G” – moreover, considering that all previous parts of Appendix you`ve said just in that way... Do you agree?
Be happy, Joanne!

Sec 19 PL notes:
I agree with you about not reading “Letters from Geo. Washington re appointment as Secretary of State”, which is indicated as section title in the MW, for I don`t see it in the text. But I also believe it would be better to say “Appendix, note H” instead of simply “Note H” – moreover, considering that all previous parts of Appendix you`ve said just in that way... Do you agree?
Missing “The Honorable Thomas Jefferson.” at the end.
The rest is very good.
I've added the reference to the Appendix to sections 18 and 19 (both at the beginning and the end of each section), reposted, and adjusted the times.
In section 19, I believe from the text that the phrase The Hon. Thomas Jefferson indicates the addressee of the letter, so I put that at the beginning, just before the salutation "Sir," rather than at the end (where it appears in the written text). Do you agree?
Thanks for listening,
Joanne

No PL objections!
Alexander, I've posted the first four letters of correspondence for you. I wish they were in the printed volume in some sort of order--even chronological would be nice--but, alas, they are not. They seem to skip all over the place, making it sometimes tough for me to figure out what Jefferson is writing about. But they are interesting--more history I never learned in school!
Thanks for listening,
Joanne
