Burr Pretending He Couldn't Read His Daughter's Letter Because She Made One Spelling Error Was Sooooo

Burr pretending he couldn't read his daughter's letter because she made one spelling error was sooooo scary it's good thing that father's aren't real

chat what do you think of the miraculous being used as a diplomatic tool in 18th century international affairs and how did washington respond

would like to remind the amrev fandom that this is in fact real

i wholeheartedly embraced the aides-de-camp were frat bros theory before i learned that quite a few of the aides were in their 30s, and hamilton (and laurens) was one of the youngest aides. but then imagine my delight when i realized this just means that hamilton was frat broing around with men 4 - 10 yrs older than him. like tench tilghman was born in 1744 and he'd go have tea with the ladies with hamilton. and james mchenry snored in loud defiance with hamilton instead of getting up, and he was 4 yrs older i think.

is this a case of frat bros taking care of a baby like those tiktokers? or a frat bro indoctrinating older men into frat bro behavior?

i need someone to confirm for me that "our common father" refers to washington. because if so i am ready to scream my head off.

“Hamilton was to me, my dear Sir, more than friend, he was a brother. We were both very young, when associated with our common father; our friendship, formed in days of peril and glory, suffered no diminution from time: with Tilghman and with Laurens, I was upon terms most affectionate; but with Hamilton, my relations were brotherly.”

— Marquis de Lafayette to George Washington Parke Custis when the latter asked Lafayette for his reaction to Hamilton’s death. 

the craziest part of some of the shit Adams wrote about Hamilton is that it was written years after his death. like get a grip, we know you hated Hamilton, but the man was semi-recently killed. 1805 and 1806 are two of the most damning letters where he's shit-talking and calling Hamilton a bastard brat, a Scottish creole, insolent coxcomb, a creature in delirium of ambition, etc etc.
