This is part of a series which begins on 1 January 1784 with the
hero of the American Revolution back at Mount Vernon under his own
""fig tree and vine"", and ends in September 1788 on the eve of his
return to public life as president under the new Constitution. The
Confederation Series is composed almost entirely of personal
letters and includes very few official documents. Documents printed
in Volume 1 reflect Washington's main concerns during the first
months of peace. Many letters related directly to his resumption of
the management not only of his house and farms at Mount Vernon, as
well as of his tenanted land in Frederick and Berkeley counties and
in Pennsylvania, but also of his vast holdings on the banks of the
Great Kanawha and Ohio. Other letters deal with such things as the
settlement of his military accounts, his activities as both
president and determined reformer of the Society of the Cincinnati,
and his preliminary notions about making the Potomac the connecting
link between the East and the transmontane West.
