Part of the ""Revolutionary War Series"", this work documents a period that includes the Continental Army's last weeks at Valley Forge, the British evacuation of Philadelphia, and the Battle of Monmouth Court House. It begins with George Washington's army at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, celebrating the alliance between the United States and France.

This volume of the papers of George Washington covers the period when his attention was devoted to several matters of national significance: the Residence and Funding Acts; Indian affairs; Harmar's expedition in the Northwest Territory; and intrigues of foreign agents on America's frontiers.

The final volume of the Presidential Series covers Madison's last ten months in office, during which he maintained a busy schedule despite taking the longest summer vacation in all his time in Washington.

Volume 19 of the Presidential Series (October 1795 to March 1796) features the final stages of the controversy about the 1794 Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation with Great Britain. Other treaty negotiations proved less controversial. Washington received news that treaties had been reached with Algiers and Spain, and the existing treaty with Morocco had been reaffirmed.

Volume 10 of the ""Presidential Series"" continues the fourth chronological series of ""The Papers of George Washington"". In the period covered by this volume, the spring and summer of 1792, George Washington was busy dealing with a host of foreign and domestic issues.

This volume presents documents written during the final sessions of the First Congress. Congress passed legislation that established a national bank and federal excise, and increased the size of the army. Washington also gave a lot of time to the new federal city on the Potomac.

This volume covers March-September of 1791, when Washington completed a tour of the southern states. On tour and when he returned to the capital, the heads of executive departments regularly reported to him about affairs of state, whilst friends and foreign correspondents sent news from Europe.

Covering the first half of 1790, this volume focuses upon Washington's continued concentration on the problems facing the new government. The president's near-fatal illness in May 1790 is described along with a diverse range of matters covered by his incoming correspondence.

The highlight events of the months from October 1794 through March 1795, the period documented by Volume 17 of the Presidential Series, were the suppression of the Whiskey Insurrection in western Pennsylvania and the negotiation of the Jay Treaty with Great Britain.

Documents the period from 1 June through 31 August 1793, a time when Washington focused his efforts as president on keeping the United States neutral during the war between France and Great Britain. The greatest challenge came from the presence in US ports of both British and French privateers and their prizes.

This volume covers the closing months of Washington's first presidential term, opening at Mount Vernon with Washington tending to both public and private affairs. It follows his unease at the growing political factionalism and attempts to ease rivalry between Hamilton and Jefferson.
