Hamiltion's+Letter

E.P.K; E.M.

My Dear Elizabeth,

If you receive this letter then you know I have perished. Before I have left to duel Aaron Burr, I have written this letter for you the kids. I have written this so I can tell you why I have chosen Jefferson instead of Burr. You know I detest both Jefferson and Burr, but I want a strong man to take over the country and to know what he is doing. Jefferson had what I hoped our president would. He had a vision for the future. He saw a chance to improve our nation and he took it. He knew that he had to win so he could show us his vision. And it was God's choice to give me the ability to choose right from wrong. He knew that I was the only one who could make the decision. I would give my life then to have a bad president to take our country. So I wish you to spread the word. Tell Philip, Angelica, Alexander, James Alexander, John Church, William Stephen, Eliza Hamilton Holly, and Little Phil that I love them. I wish for you to remember me as the man who did the right choice.

From All My Heart, Alexander Hamilton
