The months covered by this volume illustrate the variety of topics
characteristic of the Jefferson Papers. Subjects range from
Jefferson's continued overseeing of the planning of the Federal
District that became Washington, D.C., to his worries over his
debts and his exchange of correspondence with the free black
Benjamin Banneker. This period, an unusually significant time for
Jefferson as Secretary of State, saw the opening of a new phase of
diplomacy. When Jefferson returned to the capital after a stay at
Monticello in the fall, the first British minister to the United
States had arrived, and the new representative from France had been
in the city since August. During this time Jefferson began keeping
private notes on important political conversations, notes that he
later collected and bound. These notes were published after his
death as Jefferson's Anas, a work never closely examined until now
and often extended beyond Jefferson's evident intention.
Ascertaining that Jefferson collected and intended only those
documents from his tenure as Secretary of State to be used to
challenge the Federalist interpretation of Washington's
administration, the present editors publish the Anas notes not as
compiled late in Jefferson's life or as amplified by others, but in
chronological order, in the context in which they were written.
Also discovered during the preparation of this volume was a new,
later date or that portion of Jefferson's famous Espistolary Record
written in his own hand.
