Colonel Beckwith tells me that our dear Hamilton writes too much and takes no exercise, and grows too fat. I hate both the word and the thing, and I desire you will take care of his health and his good looks, why I shall find him on my return a dull, heavy fellow! He will be unable to Flirt as Robert Morris; pray, Betsey, make him walk, and ride, and be amused.
Angelica Church to Elizabeth Hamilton, April 25, 1788
