"Dear Alexander,
I love you. I know I will die at some point, so please know I love you. I wonder how I will die. Probably someone will kill me. Please don't be mad at them. Please don't be mad at yourself. Please don't be mad at me. I want you to be happy. You know what I want for you to do? Be at peace. With yourself. With the person who hurt me. Don't make a fool of yourself while I'm gone, okay? I'll be alright. I'll be waiting patiently for your arrival."
This letter was ripped out of John Laurens's journal and found in Alexander Hamilton's hand when he was found on the floor of Aaron Burr's house.
