Character: Aaron Burr (excerpt from a letter to a friend written after the death of Alexander Hamilton)

_____

I killed him. I shot him dead. I hated him so much. Hated him for endorsing Jefferson. But I also loved him. 

I thought we were friends.

Oh, my God! What have I done?

Will I ever see him again? How am I going to explain this to Theodosia? All of my stories that I've told her since she was a babe include him.

I wanted to give her the world. I wanted to make it better. I've made it worse. 

There was so much rage. I saw red.

Alexander Hamilton is dead. At my hand.


Regretfully yours,


A. Burr
