If Washington expected relief from Hamilton badgering him for an appointment, he soon learned otherwise. Hamilton was fully prepared to become a pest. In mid-April, he found quarters for himself and Eliza in a brick-and-stone Dutch dwelling at De Peyster’s Point on the east bank of the Hudson, by no coincidence opposite Washington’s headquarters at New Windsor. He even ordered ‘a little boat which two people can manage’ so that he could scoot back and forth on short notice.
Chernow’s “Alexander Hamilton” p. 154
ok this is my new favorite alexander hamilton story and I politely request fan art of ham feverishly paddling across the hudson in his little boat screaming “SIR, ENTRUST ME WITH COMMAND” at washington’s window in the middle of the night
