Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 3 - June 1779 to September 1780

Volume 3 embraces somewhat more than the first half of Jeffersons two-year service as governor of Virginia. Relates to military matters: the drafting of men for Continental and for militia service, the supplying of men and arms for the defense of Virginias far-flung western domain, clearing privateers out of Virginia waters, dealing with deserters, establishing arms factories and military hospitals, supplying Virginians in captivity with money for their subsistence, supplying the British and German prisoners in Virginia with food, and the endless problem of supporting Continental currency.
