"Of course you know that.You know what? Remind me this one.You know the guy in question was older than him by ten years was a respected lawyer too like Williams.He hailed from Alexander, Virginia."
"Of course it was Robert H. Harrison"
"Exactly.A neighbour to Washington.He had lots of ovation for a man of his age was certainly phenomenal.I reworded the little lion as leonine strides to classify this chapter's character.You know Tench Tilghman too"
"Hardly "
"He was the guy Washington called "faithful servant" having met for half a decade.A comrade that started from a light infantry company in Philadelphia.Washinghton also call him "a zealous servant," and a slave to the American dream.These are some of the young amiable working class aides through which he displayed familiar warmth.James McHenry came later to administer aids to Hamilton's ailments He had studied under Benjamin Hush and when he became aides to Washington,he treats his maladies and every summer reoccurrence of malarial infection,a childhood inheritance of tropical birthplace.He had advised him to avoid milk and drink wine though little notore than the three bottles per day.Mchenry was a poet too like Hamilton and was part of inhouse minstrels entertaining Washington households".
"Those aides don't they like women?"
"Apparently they do.They organised parties too and sneaked in with romantic flings .The details were archived in McHenry's diary . Though perpetrated during passive intervals in the spring many wives of high ranking officers from Martha Washington,Mrs Greene and Mrs Knox,Lady Stirling and daughter lady kitty organized bouncing parties in evening."
"So Hamilton was promiscuous."
"Yes he was.He had so many ladies to flirt with.He rekindled romance with old lover daughter of his first patron Catherine Livingston.Also daughter of the first governor of the independent state of new jersey William Livingston.Hence besides her he flirts rapidly at Morristown.
Nevertheless,in 1777 he began the most intimate friendship of his life with John Laurens as new recruit to the Washington's family.He came from Southern Carolina the son of one of the most influential planters .He succeeded in November John Hancock as the president of the continental Congress.They had a lot in common with the Huguenot and the British sides.Ron Chernow called spiritual twins or kindred spirits and was better than any friend Hamilton ever had.He was born in Charleston, South Carolina few months before Hamilton was born in Nevis
and was enrolled in Geneva, Switzerland at a cosmopolitan college at a time Hamilton was struggling as a clerk in St.Croix.It was from Geneva that he planned to become a barrister and by 1774 at the middle Temple in London also studied law.He was a follower of the abolitionist movement too like Hamilton studied law during the period of antislavery movement and slavery was banned in England.It was spurred by legal Mansfield 's legal decision that a slave that enters England is declared automatically free.When he desired to return the father was disappointed that the son had become the abolitionist and the sense of fighting in the war of independence that could lead to his demise worried the father so much .He gre in radicalism with the emergence of the Common Sense's pamphlet by Thomas Paine in 1776 all the more fired his anger.He was trapped in England for a while after he impregnated Martha Manning the daughter of wealthy man his father's friend William Manning and had to wed her secretly and returned to Charleston later to join continental army four months after the birth of his daughter.He won Washington's trust who then gave him confidential missions after signatory.They became unbreakable bond and write him with so much unbridled affection never elsewhere seen in his rapport with other aides .Infact they were styled "as the knights of the revolution"and it was said he had developed an adolescent crush on his friend giving the prevalence of sodomites or pederasty especially in the Caribbean during the time of Hamilton's migration to America.They latter formed a common bond with a third guy marquis de Lafayette nineteen a young French noble and a honorary major general in the continental army.He was so appointed on July 31,1777 and so they became gay trio.
