Throughout volume 20 of the Presidential Series, George Washington
looked forward to retirement from public life, preparing a farewell
address to announce his intention and leave behind guiding
principles for the nation. Relations with Great Britain and France
dominated foreign policy, as the House of Representatives agreed to
implement the provisions of the Jay Treaty and as the president
responded to a looming diplomatic crisis by recalling James Monroe,
U.S. minister to France. Washington also remained involved with his
private affairs, taking pains to retrieve Martha Washington's
runaway slave Ona (Oney) Judge, actions that did not square easily
with aspirations expressed in his farewell address regarding "the
happiness of the people of these States, under the auspices of
liberty.
