His Excellency: George Washington
“21. See the abovementioned essay by Bruce A. Ragsdale in GWR 67–93, for the best distillation of the scholarly literature. The old standard by Avery O. Craven, Soil Exhaustion as a Factor in the Agricultural History of Virginia and Maryland, 1660–1860 (Urbana, 1926), is still excellent. My summary of the scholarship is most indebted to Morgan, American Slavery, American Freedom; Kulikoff, Tobacco and Slaves; and Breen, Tobacco Culture.
22. Washington to Francis Dandridge, 20 September 1765,... Washington to Robert Cary, 20 September 1765, PWC 7:395–96, 401. The classic study of the colonial response to the Stamp Act is Edmund S. and Helen S. Morgan, The Stamp Act Crisis: Prologue to Revolution (Chapel Hill, 1953).
23. For correspondence with various merchants about his wheat crop, with ship captains about his flour, and for spinning and weaving records at Mount Vernon, see PWC 7:359–61, 509; 8:85–86, 154–55; 10:210, note 6.MoreLess
