My Dearest Alexander ,
Please , we never meant to hurt you ... We never meant to shame you ... We just wanted to be happy ... Like you and Eliza !
Alexander , I'm pregnant... And married and Hercules is very excited about becoming a father ! He's reading books and helping me men's clothing ....
Don't be upset because you're so much better than that ! And if any one should be crying it should be me or Eliza ! Since we are both expecting !
Please forgive me .... What else can I say ? I didn't take Hercules from the war ... He left .... He wanted a family ... Like you did .
You're mother died when you were 12 and your father left you young ... I know ....
Hercules father died when he was 4 and his mother worked very hard to provide for them ... He wanted a better life for his children ....
Please come to our home ... We'd love to see you , Eliza and Philip !
With much love , your friend Hercules Mulligan's wife ,
Angelica S. Mulligan ...
