Both of these fellowships are made possible through the generous support of Sid Lapidus and are prompted by his interest in investigating the anonymous authorship of the 1808 letter to Thomas Jefferson from “a Slave,” discussed by Thomas N. Baker in the January 2011 issue of the William and Mary Quarterly.
