Extending previous work of the author, we compute the Wilson quotient modulo p5 and p6, and equivalently (p-1)! modulo p6 and p7, respectively. Further, we determine some power sums of the Fermat quotients up to modulo p6. Subsequently, we discuss some patterns that occur in the p-adic coefficients of the Wilson quotient as well as of (p-1)!, whereby the original congruence (p-1)! ≡ -1 \pmodp fits perfectly into the theory.
