Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 4 October 1780 to February 1781

Volume 4 covers five critical months in Jefferson's governorship. From October 1780 through February 1781 he dealt with a dangerous invasion threat by General Leslie in October-November and the actual and devastating incursion of General Benedict Arnold up the James in January. The fullest records of these events and of Jefferson's plan to capture Arnold at Portsmouth were furnished by the Governor himself and are printed in this volume.
