Having read the biography makes all of these a lot more understandable.
Favourite quote from the couple of letters I read for this instalment:
“Because there must be some public fools who sacrifice private to public interest at the certainty of ingratitude and obloquy—because my vanity whispers I ought to be one of those fools”
At least he’s self aware.

Lots of classic Hamiltonian thought in this one. And lots of really interesting constitutional thought too!
