The Papers of Thomas Jefferson - Volume 28 - January 1794 To February 1796 by John Catanzariti and Thomas Jefferson

This volume brings Jefferson into retirement after his tenure as Secretary of State and returns him to private life at Monticello. He professes his desire to be free of public responsibilities and live the life of a farmer, spending his time tending to his estates. Turning his attention to the improvement of his farms and finances, Jefferson surveys his fields, experiments with crop rotation, and establishes a nailery on Mulberry Row. He embarks upon an ambitious plan to renovate Monticello, a long-term task that will eventually transform his residence.Although Jefferson is distant from Philadelphia, the seat of the federal government, he is not completely divorced from the politics of the day.
