From a letter to his friend John Laurens:
>She must be young, handsome (I lay most stress upon a good shape), sensible (a little learning will do), well-bred (but she must have an aversion to the word ton), chaste and tender (I am an enthusiast in my notions of fidelity and fondness), of some good nature, a great deal of generosity (she must neither love money nor scolding, for I dislike equally a termagant and an economist). In politics, I am indifferent what side she may be of; I think I have arguments that will easily convert her to mine. As to religion, a moderate streak will satisfy me. She must believe in god and hate a saint. But as to fortune, the larger stock of that the better. You know my temper and circumstances and will therefore pay special attention to this article in the treaty. Though I run no risk of going to purgatory for my avarice, yet as money is an essential ingredient to happiness in this world—as I have not much of my own and as I am very little calculated to get more either by my address or industry—it must needs be that my wife, if I get one, bring at least a sufficiency to administer to her own extravagancies.

Hi ESLgay,
please do not use this website as an indicator of American culture. Everyone on this website is a depressed alcoholic or has no friends. Myself included.
I wish you the absolute best in your endeavors.
There is definitely a lot of "founding" years cultural context that we don't know about 'Murica. Wtf is "ton"? lol had to google to understand too
Lmao imagine drinking and not just ripping a bong before you hit the gym and smoking a joint on the way back home
>well-bred (but she must have an aversion to the word ton)

I’m a native English speaker and even I had to do some research to figure it out.
It means Hamilton didn’t want her to be obsessed with her social class status and spending too much time LARPing as royalty like a socialite.
danks fren 😀
Based Hamilton
Well bred means you come from a prominent and wealthy family. So he wanted a girl he could mooch status and money from.
>In politics, I am indifferent what side she may be of; I think I have arguments that will easily convert her to mine.
This part is actually based.
The ideal wife is not having one.

>believe in God and hate a saint.
believes in God yet wants someone to hate
>Though I run no risk of going to purgatory for my avarice
personally interpretation based on not accepting reality and ones own sins, not taking responsibility for ones own actions and wanting a separate belief system that was handed down to him, essentially a false believer and no willingness to do the fathers work.
>yet as money is an essential ingredient to happiness in this world
believes happiness and stress free living is the same thing, equates money to success.
Protestants just cant help themselves.
How were white women able to have butts this large? Isnt that an exclusively African trait?
If they didn't have asses like that, no one would have taken a picture otherwise.
True. She must've been a circus freak. White women generally didn't have large butts.
Being fat and old
