Chapter 1 spark into a flame

Dear Angelica

I am slow to anger but you writing about having pride in your family is just a shameful comment your father cheated on your mother with another woman and had an affair with her and then wrote about it and published it for all the world to see because he wanted to "protect his legacy" not only that you can't even write a good strong sentence defending your "beloved father" and how he is a good man in which he is not and we all hear about your father's plans to help Jefferson wich I say is terrible I suggest you scrap the idea defending your father and let him try to fix his own mistakes and rethink his ideas

dear Theodosia,

I know I don't have the best skills in writing but you must understand that my father really does truly regret his decisions but he is a man of loyalty he realized he made a mistake and he is trying to correct it not only with his wife but with the public as well. Father never intended for any of this to happen. I don't care about others opinions I am just trying to protect his legacy and from setting this spark into a flame. this is my only shot to defend him and I am not throwing this away so until my father's name is cleared I will write nonstop no matter what you tell me I am proud of what I am doing. As for him supporting Jefferson he just thinks that he has a better plan for our nation even though he does despise him he agrees with what Jefferson says. this will not be my only piece of writing I will write like I am running out of time.

Dear diary

Today I was sitting at my father's desk finishing signing the letter to ArronBurrs daughter Theodosia me and my brother have decided to write a series of essays defending him and his honor which we called the Hamilton papers after the affair he had with Maria Reynolds and the creation of the Reynolds pamphlet. With the help of my older brother Philip, we were planning to write ten essays after reading Theadosa's letter it frustrated me I didn't know what to do or how to respond I thought I should ignore it but my brother read it and told me to respond so I did. My brother got me an envelope we sealed it and sent it off. Me and Philip love our father and hearing about this at first hurt us but we were the first to forgive him so in order to end the negative image of our father that was being spread wrote these essays after they were written Philip showed them to his classmates to read and some of his friends offered to help so, in the end, we were going to write twenty essays altogether so far our plan has worked we didn't expect the people of New York to actually read them the kids showed the essays to their parents than their parents show them to their friends and their friends show them to others we can only hope this helps our father and keeps his legacy alive.
