The Papers of Thomas Jefferson - Volume 9 - November 1785 To June 1786 by Julian P. Boyd and Thomas Jefferson

During the thirteen months covered by this volume, Thomas Jefferson spent more than half of his time in Philadelphia serving as vice president under President John Adams and presiding over a Senate that was dominated by his political opponents, the Federalists. Debates in Congress took place against a backdrop of bitter partisan rivalry, characterized most famously by the near-brawl on the floor of the House between Matthew Lyon and Roger Griswold. Congress and the nation waited, in a 'state of extraordinary suspense,' for dispatches from the American envoys in France.
