Angelica sends a picture of herself to Hamilton and asks his opinion. She complains that he hasn't written since August but that she forgives him as she knows he is busy. She sends her love to Alexander, her sister and the family and asks Hamilton to tell Alexander Jr. that he is a great favorite and that her daughter Betsey says she would marry him if she could. She ends the letter with a mention of the French and that they, "cannot form their government so readily as we did ours, they mean to petition General Washington to send them a Legislator." She wishes that Hamilton would write them a constitution as it would mean he and the family would be in France and thus much easier to visit.
