The Schuyler Sisters
Hamilton's Fiancee Elizabeth Schuyler
"Pardon me my love for talking politics to you> What have we to do with any thing but love?" Hamilton wrote this letter to Elizabeth Schuyler just two months before their marriage. The Hamiltons' son, John Church Hamilton, who published his father's papers between 1850 and 1851, is probably responsible for crossing out the fourteen lines in the letter's second paragraph. The Library of Congress recently succeed in largely deciphering the crossed-out text using a process called hyperspectral imaging.
