Volume 1 of the Presidential Series covers the months immediately
before Washinton's election. Opening in September 1788, at the
point when it was certain that the Constitution would be ratified,
the documents trace the mounting public pressure upon Washington to
agree to accept the presidency. His letters reveal poignantly his
own misgivings about leaving Mount Vernon to return to public life.
Well before he was offered the presidency he was deluged with
applications for public offices. These letters are singularly
revealing of economic and social disruption in the aftermath of the
Revolution and of the political and social assumptions of Americans
at the beginning of the new nation. Letters written to Washington
during these months from all over the country report the gradual
acceptance of the new government and the progress of the first
federal elections in the states. His correspondence with foreign
admirers is also extensive.
