Description
Calendar of Virginia State Papers These volumes are not well indexed and may need to be searched intensively. I was led from editorial notes in the Madison Papers to some interesting correspondence in Volume 4 regarding the compact and trade on the Potomac (none of which could be found via the index). Of particular interest is the opinion of the Va. attorney general (James Innes) on the interpretation of the Compact of 1785 made in 1787. See notes from volume 4: cvspvol4 There was a little material in Volume 1.
