Also, I should be ashamed of myself for not putting an ORDER BY clause on my query. It is imperative to use an order by when the order of the rows matters. For this small sample it will never be an issue, but in your actual table it does make a difference.
select top 1 RowPointer, STUFF((select cast(Notes as nvarchar(max)) + char(10)
from #Something
order by RowPointer
for XML PATH('')), 1, 0, '')
from #Something
order by RowPointer
