The following products from NHPRC-supported documentary editing projects have been received in the Commission office since November 1997.
- The Papers of Benjamin Franklin, Vol. 33 [July 1 through November 15, 1780] (Yale University Press, 1997).
During this period Franklin finds himself virtually overwhelmed with appeals for funds to pay for Continental Army supplies, to sustain Congress, and to support fellow diplomats John Adams and John Jay. He again turns to the French government for help, which is forthcoming. Franklin also becomes involved in the case of a runaway slave; orders three copying machines; and meets Georges-Louis Le Rouge, who engraves his map of the Gulf Stream.
- The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Vol. 27 [1 September to 31 December 1793] (Princeton University Press, 1997).
This volume brings Jefferson's tenure as Secretary of State to a close. With Philadelphia in the throes of a yellow-fever epidemic, he informs Citizen Genet that the American government has requested his recall. Jefferson nevertheless prevails on Washington and the Cabinet to inform Congress of the British refusal to carry out the disputed provisions of the Treaty of Paris at the same time it is told of the action regarding Genet. He also submits to Congress his long-awaited Report on Commerce, and to Washington his resignation.
- The Presidio and Militia on the Northern Frontier of New Spain: A Documentary History, Vol. 2, Part 2: The Central Corridor and the Texas Corridor, 1700 - 1765 (University of Arizona Press, 1997).
The first segment of this volume covers the Central Corridor, including its defense, the role of the private army on the northern frontier, and a plan to reestablish missions and presidios on the R&#iacute;o Grande. The second segment covers Nuevo M&#eacute;xico, or the northern limits of the Central Corridor, including problems of defense and the reform of the presidios. The third segment covers the Texas Corridor, including failed first attempts to establish missions in Texas, the establishment of permanent missions and the first presidios, and problems associated with new mission expansion and meeting the Apache threat.
- The Margaret Sanger Papers Microfilm Edition: Collected Documents Series [Guide to the University Publications of America edition] (University Publications of America, 1997).
