Annotation: Volume 12 begins in the early part of August 1787 and continues through the end of March 1788, a time when Jefferson, as minister to France, was continuing his persistent efforts not only to secure the enforcement of the favorable trade regulations (especially for tobacco) already conceded to the United States but also to widen their scope to other imports from America.
