My Dearest ,
Elizabeth , oh how I miss your sweet face ! Oh how I rather be with you then Washington's secretary.
How our little Stephanie ? I was thinking , even though you say it's going to be a girl , if it's a boy how about Philip ? After your father ?
I've learned quite a bit of the name .
1. Philip is Greek and means lover of horses
2. Philip the Great's son was name Alexander , so what if our son is Philip ? And I'm Alexander ? Funny ! John thought so !
Anyway my dear I must be going for Washington has called me again .... Ugh .... I shall write you soon .
With all Love and Hope ,
A. Hamilton.
