My Dear friend Alex,
I'm sorry to write you on this hard day.... But I can't control what's going on ... I'm leaving the war .
It's not that I don't want Freedom... It's just ... I want a family ....
You have a wife and son .... Burr has a wife and a daughter... Laff has two kids .... Lauren's has Peggy who is pregnant... And I have no one ...
You aren't going to like this ... Nor is Eliza .... But Angelica and I are eloping and moving ...
I love her with all my heart and at your wedding I spoke with her ... She told me she had an empty heart and that I could fill it if I tried hard enough .... And I did ...
Angelica is pregnant ... And we will be welcoming you and Eliza to upstate New York when the baby is born ....
Please understand that I love my country but I love my family even more .
I know you'll be the best general ever .... Alex you're gonna blow us all away ....
I'll see you on the other side of the war pal ... Raise a glass to freedom .
-Hercules Mulligan
