Alxander Hamilton writes to Elizabeth Hamliton that though he would love to see her and missed her very much it would not be prudent as the trip to Yorktown, Virginia could be hazardous. He also must be focused on his military endeavors. He mentions the possibility of her stress being bad for her pregnacy as well.
