Pyotr Bagration

a. “From what I’ve read, he was a shy sweetheart outside of war, and an absolutely badass during battle. Like- it was partially that shyness that got him caught up in his less than favorable marriage. Also, have you seen his portrait by George Dawes?! It makes me swoon at the sight of it.”

b. “The best, the sexiest and certainly the greatest NOSE in the Russian army and perhaps all armies of that period. Noseys of Napoleonic era, beware! Believed to be a target of Grand Duchess Catherine Pavlovna's affections, a soldier's soldier celebrated for his courage and spirit, respected even by Napoleon and widely beloved… with the noted exceptions of his own wife and one Barclay de Tolly.”

c. “His sideburns and his nose”

Gebhard von Blücher

"DILF energy”

Naval Letters of Percival Drayton, 1861-1865

I think I was searching for Alexander Hamilton Jr. (...yeah, that's his name 👀👀, and he was indeed the OG Alexander Hamilton's grandson(!!)), Percival Drayton's close friend when I found this collection of letters from Percy. They wrote each other all life long, but especially during the civil war.

Here are some screenshots of Percy's letters to his friend Alex H. Jr (though this collection also holds letters he wrote to Lydig M. Holt, his other close friend, which are shown in the screenshots as well), with each of them taken because they piqued my interest... 😏😉

I've written (heck, drawn even) about Percy and Dolph (John A. Dahlgren) being friends, and here is Percy telling Lydig M. Hoyt about his friend Dolph 🥺💙🌊

...ah yes, that infamous letter where 🌊Papi🌊 David Farragut is proven wine mom 😅😅😂🤣🙈

(...and turns out Percy confessed his private sin (ie. cigar smoking) in this letter too 👀👀)

So right around this time (latter half of 1864) there was Sanitation Fair held in New York to raise funds for Union soldiers and sailors alike. 🌊Papi's🌊 CDV and autograph proves to be hot commodity there 😺😏😌✨.

Even Percy got a CDV request from McClellan's wife(!) 👀👀

That time when 🌊Papi🌊 and Percy received a distinguished visitor, General Alexander Asboth. He was a Hungarian immigrant who fought during the 1848 revolution in Hungary, and later fought in American Civil War as well (distinguished himself in the battle of Pea Ridge). He invited them to dinner and they had...chocolate soup??

And here's Percy throwing ✨Shade✨ to some New York doughfaces and copperheads 💀🔥

...I shouldn't laugh but I find it hilarious how Virginia was surprised by 🌊Papi's🌊 sudden leave 😅😩🥲🙈. Apparently Percy was supposed to go but it was so urgent so 🌊Papi🌊 ended up leaving on his own...
