Copy of a poem by Alexander Hamilton in Eliza Hamilton’s handwriting, apparently given as a gift to a friend. Comparing this version to the original, Eliza took a few liberties when copying the poem out; for one example, “Enter the gates of Bliss un bard” was “For thee the gates of Bliss unbarr’d.” She also left off the last stanza. The poem was clearly very meaningful to her, though, and the end note where she states it was written by “my Alexander Hamilton” is particularly moving.

“The Soul, entering in to Bliss--

Ah whether whether art though gone;

A wandering guest in words unknown

What is it that I see and hear?

What heavenly music fills my ear?

Etherial glories shine a round,

More than Arabias sweets abound

Hark Hark! a voice from yonder sky!

Methinks I hear the savior cry,

Come gentle spirit, come away,

Come to thy Lord with out delay,

Enter the gates of Bliss un bard,

Thy constant virtue to reward.

I come, Oh Lord, I mount, I fly:

On rapid wings, I cleave the sky:

Stretch out thine arm, and aid my flight.

For O! I long to gain that Hight.

Where all celestial beings sing

and join to praise my Heavenly King.

Written at 18 years of age, by my Alexander Hamilton.

Your affectionate friend, Elizth Hamilton”

Crochet, sewing, and darning fill the pages. Consider this patriotic hacking.

The directions of how to alter a man's suit into a woman's suit could be very helpful for Agent Carter cosplayers, especially with a limited budget. In my area, the selection of men's suits in period appropriate fabrics and patterns is greater than those in women's. These cuts are fairly timeless and could be useful for everyday wear.

The accessories would be great for audience members of the Stark Expo or the USO tour.

The "Original documents for Packard and related families" is an original publication of this blog. It was adapted from Ms. Lenker’s “Descendants of Moses Packard” which she sent me earlier this year. It was much longer, but I tried to just quote the original documents as there was a lot of waste/supposition. Below are the sections which relate to the Packards:
