“I meet you in every dream.” Love Letter from Alexander Hamilton to Elizabeth Schuyler, 1780
Thursday, September the First
I am enjoying our summer back here in Albany. The children have rosy cheeks, Angelica's hair is sun streaked, and James grew chubby from all the pies Gran baked for us. I grow larger every day. We plan to return home Friday next.
I received a letter from Alex this morn. I read the romantic bits over and over: I am myself in good health but I cannot be happy without you. Yet I must not advise you to urge your return. The confirmation of your health is essential to our happiness that I am willing to make as long a sacrifice as the season and your patience will permit. Adieu my precious. My best love to all the family. Yrs ever & entirely, A Hamilto
