"Between me and thee there is a Gulph, or I should not have been thus long without seeing you. My faith is strong, but not strong enough to attempt walking on the Waters. You must not suppose from my dealing so much in scripture phrases that I am either drunk with Religion or with Wine, though had I been inclined to the latter I might have found a jolly Companion in My Lord, who came here yesterday… I must go over and see you soon, for I am not yet weaned from you, nor do I desire to be."
-Tench Tilghman to Alexander Hamilton, April 27, 1781. I can imagine weaning one’s self from Hamilton must be difficult. (via publius-report)
