A little while ago I did this semester-long project focusing on the culper ring which had me trying to find primary sources that would be useful. One of the sources that I found was a letter from Charles Scott to George Washington and it's actually the funniest thing I found during the entire research part.

In the letter, Scott says that he forwarded a letter to Washington from a man named John Bolton, who was recommended to him by Benjamin Tallmadge… I’m sure you can see the irony here.

National Archives (where I found it) goes on to say that Scott more than likely meant to use the name Samuel Culper, but it’s actually way more funny he used Tallmadge’s alias instead. Just imagine Tallmadge indirectly hyping himself up to Scott like “this guy’s so smart you can totally trust him” as he’s just referring to himself.

On the 27th of June, Washington called General Charles Lee to his headquarters with Greene, Lafayette, Wayne, Maxwell, and Scott also in attendance.

Forgotten Patriot: The Life and Times of Major-General Nathanael Greene by Lee Patrick Anderson, pg. 158, literally just posting this for the sake of due diligence.

Bucephalus says:

What is not a good look: Shooting someone in your custody without giving them a trial. However, getting court martialed for refusing the order of shooting someone in your custody without a trial, now that is a good look.

Washington: that's why I have promoted him to major

How To Zeitgeist with Cliches and Fireflys

Charles Scott (@conversinginmetaphors​)

How to Win friends and influence people with love in the Time of cholera Blue is the color of zeitgeist and occasionally small icons A stool was near a cluttered island, An iron fist of invisible hands a lovely Figure with Meat my god Francis Bacon is crispy Cliché like the plague tonight or at least Wang Chung in Alberta slip a plaid tabard over my indifference and glee near fireflys My position was obtusely clear assumptions are intervention distortion Art is cool like fireflys
