Chapter 23: Hamilton

Mentor Kenway,

I find myself uncertain if I should congratulate, commiserate or castigate you.

Certainly, I am dismayed at the loss of Alexander. A fine and honorable man, if not the best of husbands, he served my Order faithfully (with the exception of the matter of Adams, of course). Too, I counted him a friend and cherished his mind.

And yet, his death has ensured that Burr will no longer hold any political sway. For that, I thank you. An Assassin so close to the President was a grave concern; now, utterly mitigated.

I know that this was not your first attempt on Alexander. You would not have used so valuable an agent as Burr otherwise. It seems your persistence has paid off. Therefore, let me congratulate you on finally ridding the world of one of my foul company.

Yours,

Shay Patrick Cormac

Grandmaster of the American Rite

Bill,

Ouch. Burr's loss of power was a significant blow to the Assassins, even if he did eliminate Hamilton. No one expected Hamilton to actually blunt his shot. I'm wondering if this was planned? Cormac could not have been happy about Hamilton costing Adams the election; maybe this was a punishment? Or an attempt at redemption?

AUthor's Note: It was planned, but not by Shay. Hamilton did this of his own initiative.
