Read and commented on ecp's note re. Md. legislation 1784; reviewed and made changes to Henings legislation; reviewed some of the Md. legislation; read Virginia's brief; read ecp's analysis of Virginia's brief; searched repositories for more convenient access to Va. legislative materials (JHU has the Jenkins microfilm, now I have to find if I can get access to it; also found 3 addtl. volumes of Henings 1792-1807 at Peabody library; TSU has JVHB to 1775; Md. may have JVHD in Evans Early Am. Imprints but not clear from Victor, I will check tomorrow); read Peter Albert's master's thesis and noted items he cites from JVHB, JVHD and newspapers that we may want to look at.

12/16/00 9:00-12:00, 13:00-16:00 Read all of Sam's notes from Mason, Jefferson and Washington papers. Copied them into wp so I can paste overlapping entries from Madison papers. Worked on Madison papers vol. 8
12/17/00 9:00-15:00, 17:00-19:00 Continued working on Madison vol. 8. (there is a lot of stuff in here, most of it good, but the editor thinks the Md. & Va. commissioners were supposed to MEET with commissioners apptd. by Pa.; ie. that they were supposed to be invited to join the Mt. Vernon conference, which would be a real problem for us. But so far I haven't found any evidence to substantiate his editorial notes to this effect; I think he is misreading the Dec. 28, 1784 resolution re. Pa. I will post all the notes on this as soon as I've finished the volume).
