Note 1059 — Chapter VI · (continued 2)

Light-Horse Harry Lee in his Memoirs was especially severe on Jefferson's actions at this time, and later during Cornwallis's campaign. To this Jefferson replied in a letter to the younger Henry Lee, dated May 15, 1826, in Lee's Memoirs (2d edition), p. 204. In his Notes on Virginia, Jefferson attempted a defence of his conduct, and in his Writings (ix. 212 and 220) there appeared an attack on the elder Lee. This brought forth a pamphlet entitled Observations on the Writings of Thomas Jefferson, with particular reference to the attack they contain on the memory of the late Gen. Henry Lee, by Henry Lee, New York, 1832. This was suppressed (cf. Sabin, x. 172), but in 1839 a second edition, "with an introduction and notes by Charles C. Lee", was published. See especially pp. 119 to 141 of the 1st ed., and pp. 129 to 147 of the 2d. See also Randall's Jefferson, i. 291-343; Giradin, Continuation of Burk, iv. 452-470; and, on the other side, Howison, ii. 251-265.
