What did Laurens write in the September 1780 letter that had Hamilton running to see him like that. No I don’t care it’s actually not enough to speculate anymore. I need to see it. I need to know. What did he write god damn it

The South Carolina Historical Society puts on an annual winter lecture series, and the theme this year is "Untold Stories of the American Revolution." The first lecture of the series will be "Vicious and Immoral: Homosexuality, the American Revolution, and the Trials of Robert Newburgh" presented by John G. McCurdy on February 11, 2025. This lecture speaks right to my special interests, and I'm sure many of you would be interested in attending the lecture too. You can register for this lecture and other lectures in the series here (both in-person and livestream options available). Other lectures in the series include "The Tory's Wife: A Woman and Her Family in Revolutionary Carolina," "A Promised Land: Jewish Patriots, the American Revolution, and the Birth of Religious Freedom," and "Revolutionary Blacks: Discovering the Frank Brothers, Freeborn Men of Color, Soldiers of Independence." It's certainly a great lineup of topics and speakers this year!

Surprisingly, I had never heard of John McCurdy or his works prior to this lecture announcement. It appears that his lecture will be based on his recent book of the same name. I've just started reading the book myself and have been enjoying it so far. It is interesting and refreshing to see a discussion of queer history so specifically framed in the context of the American Revolution. John McCurdy previously talked about this book at the Museum of the American Revolution, and you can watch that presentation here. He has a few other publications, including a book titled Citizen Bachelors: Manhood and the Creation of the United States. I've picked this one up as well but haven't had the chance to read it yet. I'm certainly excited to have found some new books that discuss sexuality and gender in late 18th century America.

1795 to Hamilton:

I sincerely hope that we shall both save our heads and that you may by some fortunate & unexpected event acquire the means of perfect independence in spite of all your efforts to be poor. I have an interest in an event of this nature which perhaps you have forgotten. I have often said that your friends would be obliged to bury you at their own expence. 

1802 to Rufus King:

Hamilton is closely pursuing the law, and I have at length succeeded in making him somewhat mercenary. I have known him latterly to dun his clients for money, and in settling an account with me the other day, he reminded me that I had received a fee for him in settling a question referred to him and me jointly. These indications of regard to property give me hopes that we shall not be obliged to raise a subscription to pay for his funeral expenses.

*Urgent*

My bf and I are trying to pull together money for first and last on an apartment as soon as we possibly can

Both of us are in less than ideal situations, with me living precariously with family and him having no fixed place to live

We have a place lined up, but we need to pay first and last month's rent in order to secure it, and we need to do so as fast as possible

If anyone can help out, we take donations over PayPal or e-transfer (you can DM for e-transfer info)

I do writing commissions on Ko-fi, where you can also donate

We have to put together a total of 3200 CAD so obviously this is pretty stressful, and any and all help would be much appreciated!

I'm going to update this post with both the amount of any donations we receive, and the amounts of our paychecks when we get them, so the total raised will reflect the complete amount of money that we have set aside as opposed to only showing what's been donated (to avoid any confusion). I also applied for a government assistance program for first and last, which would take care of about 1000-1600 CAD, so I'll include that if I am able to get it

2435/3200 CAD

[newsfromstolenland]

My bank account is empty, and we need to get groceries and cleaning supplies for the apartment

Please, if anyone can contribute to help with that to get us through to the end of the month, it would mean everything to us
