“Mr. H used in the evening to sit with my family and my brothers family and write dogrel rhymes for their amusement; he was allways amiable and cheerful and extremely attentive to his books.”
— Recollection of young Alexander Hamilton from Hercules Mulligan
“While I am on the subject of [Benjamin Walker], I must relate an anecdote which happened while he was in the family of Genl Washington, and which is strongly descriptive of his honest heart. He had long been engaged to a Quaker young lady, who resided in the State of New York, and whom he afterwards married. He once asked the General to give him leave of absence for a few days, to go and see her. The General told him, that he could not at that time dispense with his services. Walker insisted, begged, entreated, but all in vain. “If I don’t go,” said he “she will die.” “Oh! no,” said Washington, “women do not die for such trifles.” “But, General, what shall I do?” “What you will do? why write to her to add another leaf to the /book of sufferings/.” This was related to me by Walker himself. Genl Washington had a great deal of that dry humour, which he knew how to make use of on proper occasions.”
