Summary

"The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, Vol. 4 (of 9)" by Thomas Jefferson is a collection of writings that gives us insight into the political matters of someone who helped found the United States. It shows us Jefferson's thoughts and experiences from when he came back to the United States until when he passed away. He wrote these reports and letters during a time of change for the United States on the world stage. The letters from 1793 show Jefferson figuring out what to do about farming, problems with other countries, and the United States trying to stay neutral when France and England were fighting. Jefferson wanted to give Mr. Young good information about the amount of crops being grown. He thought a lot about the difficult relationships between countries as things changed politically. Jefferson worried about France staying stable, potential fights with Spain, and how the actions of foreign powers would affect everyone, showing how involved he was in the government and talking with other countries back then.
