“It was my good fortune to have almost the entire care and management of her [Elizabeth Schuyler's] affairs. The elder son, Alexander, was away from home attending to his commercial affairs. I remained at the Grange with her as long as she remained there, attending to the cultivation and household, and after her father’s death I became useful in collecting her rents and selling such parts of her property as her needs required.”

James Alexander Hamilton being a salty bitch about his older brother, Alexander Hamilton Jr., being away and unable to care for their deathly ill mother or her property management is hilarious. Especially when you consider he didn't say anything about Phil II or John Church not being present, just Alex Jr.
#‘Yea I had to take care of everything because my good for nothing older brother is off doing his own shit but anyway back to my moms death’#Damn James#Like with context he's just talking about Elizabeth's death and randomly swaps to dishing Alex Jr.#amrev#american history#american revolution#elizabeth hamilton schuyler#elizabeth schuyler hamilton#elizabeth schuyler#james alexander hamilton#alexander hamilton jr#hamilchildren#history#hamilton family#hamilton children#hamilkids#hamilton kids#cicero's history lessons
