Monroe to TJ, Fredericksburg: “I hope…that neither yourself nor Mrs.
Jefferson have sustaind injury from these obtrusions of the enemy. In former I
advis’d you I would not stay at home in the present state of the country and
should be happy to bear some post in her defence. For that purpose I sate out
to join the Marquis’s army to act in any line either himself or Council would
employ me in."
This blog will look at one of the most important periods in Thomas Jefferson's life, during which he wrote and published one of the most important books in American history: Notes on the State of Virginia. On April 26, 2022, Yale University Press will publish the first annotated edition of Notes made from the first (1785) edition and Jefferson's original manuscript.
