There will be a funeral service on the 25, I have wrote Aunt Angelica and I have still not received a response from Aunt Angelica . My brothers and I welcome you and your children to come . As well as Mr. Hamilton.
Yours Truly,

"Eliza what's wrong ?" Alexander asked as he came into the living room .
"It's Peggy " "what's wrong ?" "She's passed " "like she's dead ?" Eliza nodded . "Eliza I'm so sorry " "why does this always happen !" Eliza said folding the letter and walking into the kitchen.
"What do you mean Eliza ?" "Alexander! Look around ! " "what ?" "First my dear Angelica left with John to England ! Then father lost his seat in the senate ! You and the slut Maria Reynolds and publishing the letters ! Phillip going off to boarding school and then Kings College ! I can't take any more heart breaks ! Alexander I can't do it anymore " "Eliza , I will do anything and everything in my power for you not to go through any more heart breaks !" He said hugging her .
"I don't want that !" "Then what do you want Eliza ?" "I want to go back ! Before the wars ! And people leaving ! Before the children ! Before the heart breaks!When it was just me and my sisters ! Before us " Eliza said wiping a tear . "Eliza , you don't really want that do you ?" "I have to start dinner " she said .
"Eliza ," "Alexander can you call Angelica and Eliz-Holly down to help , have John and James set the table . " she said . "Eliza we can't live like this " "no Alexander , you can't ! You can't live like this , because it's new . But I've lived like this since you wouldn't come with us to that lake house that damn summer " Eliza said taking some meat out of the ice box .
"Eliza I love you " Alexander said . Eliza shook her head and the girls came in . "Angelica , Lizzie , can you get the bread and begin to toast it ?" "Yes mother " the girls said .
"Eliza is there anything I can do ?" Alexander asked . "Write to Angelica she should be in their New York home . And while your out Alexander don't sleep with any more women " Eliza said and began to chop the meat .
Alexander sighed and went into his office .
( okay this is true ! Peggy died the same year as Phillip ( he isn't dead yet in this one shot ) and she did marry a man name Stephen Van Rensselaer and had four children :
Philip , Stephen and Henry)
