According to Freneau's declaration in a letter to Jefferson, May 27, 1809, this is the first edition of his poems that received his personal attention, "the other two having been published, while I was wandering over gloomy Seas, until embargoed by the necessity of the times." Later he wrote to Madison, "That Edition [1809] was published by Subscription merely for the benefit of, and to assist Mrs. Bailey, an unfortunate but deserving widowed female, niece to General Steele, and this consideration alone induced me to pay some attention to that third Edition."
