Tallmadge & Laurens

I wish I could just walk up and ask that of Washington. “Are you all right, sir?” The man won’t stand up for himself against his detractors! I cannot for the life of me understand why.

Just wanted you all to know that Hamilton originally wrote that a part of his heart still remained for his “friends” but changed it so that said part of his heart was only for Laurens.

The last coronation in Russia was held on 26 May 1896 for Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra Feodorovna, who would be the final Tsar and Tsaritsa of Russia. The rite began at 10 a.m. on a special raised dais in the middle of the Cathedral. Directly before the beginning of the coronation the Emperor sat on the throne of Mikhail Fedorovich, the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna — the throne of Alexey Mikhailovich, and the Empress Alexandra Feodorovna — the throne of Ivan III.
