Volume Three of the Confederation Series of The Papers of George
Washington spans the year between May 1785 and April 1786,
described by Washington's biographer Douglas Southall Freeman as a
year of "drought and distraction." Washington spent most of these
months at Mount Vernon, continuing to wrestle with the problems of
restoring the plantation and his personal fortune after years of
neglect while serving as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army
-- efforts hampered by a long summer drought. During these months
Washington was distracted by national affairs, particularly the
impotence of the Confederation government, and by a constant stream
of visitors. His principal concerns, however, were close to
home.
