what happened to the letter between john laurens and martha manning? i can't find it ANYWHERE and it's driving me insane

The only place I’ve found it is on john-laurens’s blog here and it says:

The time allowed me for writing to several Friends in different parts of the world, obliges me to be laconic in each Letter_ yours claims of right the greatest number of moments_ but will necessarily be very short compared with what I wish to send you at this period_ if you have received two Letters written in the last month and one in this, you will see in all of them a Repetition of what I said to you in England, and soon after my return to Carolina upon the subject of your voyage to America_ in two late Letters to your Father I likewise dwelt upon this cause of our anxiety_ perhaps by the time this reaches you some prospect may open which was undiscovered at the time of our parting_ my only hopes then were founded in your having an opportunity of accompanying some respectable Carolina Family to your own Country_ I fear by the delay of those whom I had principally in view that some unexpected obstacles to their return have presented themselves_ However great our unhappiness be, in consequence of our Separation, I can never consent my dearest love, that you should expose yourself to all the dangers which now attend a Sea Voyage in a common Vessel and without the guardianship of a particular Friend.  Reflect for a moment into how much misery we might both be plunged by your captivity, and say dear Girl whether it will not be better to endure the pain of absence patiently, ‘till some eligible opportunity offer_ I shall not be able to write to our good Friend your Father You will be so kind as to make amends for it by expressions of Respect and Friendship from me to him_ assure your dear mother and Sisters of my Love_ this will give you satisfaction by informing you that I am well and as happy as I can be at so great a distance from you Madam_ and that with ardent wishes for our reunion I am unalterably yours

i was listening to your podcast with john_laurens and i couldnt help but think of the song 'all smiles tonight' when you talked about hamilton marrying eliza. its a country bumpkin song but it fits so well with what john must have felt. 10/10 would recommend if you want your heart to break

The Johnny Cash version is especially painful.See, @john-laurens, other people can make serious, well thought-out song suggestions.

I hadn’t been planning on subjecting you all to more pix of myself, but I actually feel really cute today in my @john-laurens fashions, so (you too could be covered in soft shell turtles: http://www.zazzle.com/livelovelaurens).

How great are @publius-esquire and @john-laurens for a) having massive archives for us to dig through, and b) being so gracious about all the newcomers to interests that they’ve dedicated their time and energy to for a long time? Thank you both! Your presence on tumblr is a gift to us all <3
