The first in a series of posts exploring letters written by the Schuyler sisters to each other from Pride and Pleasure. Follow along!

Sister Letters/1 (first in a series of posts exploring letters written by the Schuyler sisters to each other):

Today let's look at what the newlywed Elizabeth (then called Betsey) wrote to her younger sister Margaret (or Peggy) shortly after Betsey joined her new husband, Alexander Hamilton, at George Washington's headquarters at New Windsor, NY. “I am the happiest of Women,” she says. “My dear Hamilton is fonder of me every day." This isn't, as some writers have considered, a tepid description — far from it. In the 18th century "fond" meant "infatuated," or what Hamilton, in a PS to the same letter, called being "a fanatic in love." No wonder Betsey urges Peggy, "Get married, I charge you.... There is no possible felicity but in that state... I was much in want of it.” (Elizabeth Hamilton to Margareta Schuyler, January 1781, Hamilton Family Papers, Library of Congress)
