“I wish to have a conversation with you…. If you will name a day for taking a family dinner with me, I shall think it the best arrangement… The chief subjects will be additional funds for public Debt and the Bank. Would you have any objection that Mr. Fitsimmons should be of the party?”

— Alexander Hamilton to Robert Morris, November 9, 1790

  • A perfect example of how Hamilton’s political frankness. A similar invitation to discuss politics written by Jefferson would have been way less direct. I will post a quote from him shortly so you can see the difference.
