Proposed modification of the code table WE007, as classified by Ralph E. Weber (who ascribes this change to Robert Livingston). This is a postscript (omitted in Wharton) to the letter dated 6 July 1782 from Livingston to Jay. A transcript of the whole letter is found in Roll 139, Page 236, in which the text is slightly different from this.
