“Kit took occasion to tell me that [Alexander] Hamilton (who cast some liquorish looks at his cara sposa, the day we were at Breck’s) appears to him very trifling in his conversation with ladies and that his wife said she did not like him at all. He was evidently satisfied, with this intimation.”

Harrison Gray Otis

(liquorish=lustful; cara sposa=beloved wife)

I love Otis’s obvious amusement with the fact that Kent is pleased his wife didn’t like Hamilton. XD A little insecure, eh Kent?

Also, Hamilton staring lustfully at other men’s wives.
