Hello dearest friend,
Like I promised before, I'm visiting you again and writing, once more, in your lonely pages.
Being an aid-de-camp isn't all as bad as I made it seem in our previous conversation, and maybe His Excellency was right about my talents being need with him and his army.
However at the same time, I long for the action of the battlefield and having a rifle( instead
of a quill pen) in my hands.
I've met some interesting people though, a John Laurens and a french nobleman, The Marquis
de Lafayette. He strikes me as a very eccentric person, why you ask? Who would fight for
a country that has declared it's Independence from the most powerful empire on earth(England), and for no pay at all?
Lafayette of course, he's like a child, head over heels in love with america; willing to give his life for a woman
he just met. He's very strange, I wonder if all french nobles are like this?
Anyway, that's all I have to tell you dearest friend, I have much business to attend to. Those letters won't write themselves and those that are under me won't dear pick up a pen unless I yell at them to do so.
We'll have a proper conversation next time,
Alexander Hamilton
