I am anticipating a lot of books. To keep track of them, I made a 2024 tbr shelf. It has 123 books. I certainly won't be reading all 123, but since I can sort the list by release date it helps me keep track of new releases. Unfortunately, 123 is so many that half of them I don't even remember adding them or what they're about, so I decided to boil it down to 10 most anticipated new books and 10 sequels.

What are your thoughts concerning the Reynolds’s Affair theory presented by Tilar Mazzeo in her biography on Eliza?

I read it a long while back and I’ve always wondered your thoughts on it. Do you think it is plausible? I think it is, but you are much more familiar with the people involved and the situation.

This took a bit longer than expected to answer because I had to write down everything I wanted to cover, because there is a lot to unpackage with this biography and topic. Personally, I don't find it extremely likely, nor convincing. There is the slight possibility, but it doesn't line up as well as the affair. For anyone that wants a run down of what will be discussed, I answered here what I will essentially be debating whether is true or not now. My goal here isn't to dissuade anyone from picking up the book or reading it, because it has it's useful and enjoyable moments. But there are some major issues concerning it, although this isn't a review of the book itself.

Basically, Mazzeo takes the claims the Reynolds affair never happened. She claims the whole story was an elaborate cover up for Hamilton's actual financial embezzlement of government funds. While doubting the story that the infamous pamphlet tells isn't bad, or disagreeable by any means - it definitely deserves to be questioned with all the mystery surrounding it - as it's more than likely Hamilton constructed the whole thing with self-serving bias. But this claim isn't exactly the brand new discovery that Mazzeo flaunts it as.

Maria was the first to claim that the affair never truly happened, and while her account is definitely considerable. And the authenticity of Maria's letters is an interesting issue to discuss. There has been debate over whether Hamilton made them available to be compared with a handwriting sample of Maria's. William Bingham said he never saw the original letters, but then later claimed that he did. And honestly, Hamilton may have also been dubious to trust Maria again to give an accurate sample, considering afterwards he believed she was part of the blackmail scheme all along. Although the letters could be fake, I am also inclined to think Hamilton would have destroyed the originals, and was desperately trying to replicate the missing evidence so his story was believed. Granted this is all just speculation, and regardless doesn't support or disassinuate he may have been involved in any financial embezzlement.

Anyway, Mazzeo didn't actually find the evidence she suggests, instead she found gossip and made a theory from it. Mazzeo essentially recycled the original charges against Hamilton, that provoked him to write the pamphlet in the first place, without offering additional evidence. There is no actual support of any financial wrong-doing, just speculation. Seemingly Mazzeo forgot that actually it wasn't just Hamilton's word that cleared him of suspicion.

Bias claims as a source of evidence

The root of Mazzeo's argument solely consists of Maria's denial to the affair, and Monroe's skepticism. But it's faulty to see Maria as any less self-serving as Hamilton in this situation. Maria had every reason to lie if it saved her skin. Her relationship with Hamilton as his mistress was cut off, her husband had been arrested—And to do the contrary, by admitting the affair, would accomplish nothing but a torn reputation and name.

Secondly, Monroe was just as guilty of bias. When Muhlenburg, Venable, and Monroe confronted Hamilton about the issue in 1792, their sole intent was to give Hamilton a chance to explain or resign before they sent their information to Washington - who was president at the time - before they ruined his name and reputation. The fact that they seemingly never forwarded the information, they must have believed his explanation of the affair. Monroe's further doubts about the situation wasn't likely a case of true disbelief, but rather that he was hanging onto the hope of it being true because he hated Hamilton and his party. Take into account, he was a close companion of Jefferson's. His word should hardly be seen as any hardcore evidence in a situation where the two are of opposite parties, and can utilize this to their advantage and ruin the other's name.

Mazzeo cites no actual evidence of financial wrongdoing on Hamilton's part throughout it. But she instead looks to everyone else's hearsay and contradicting word to prove a some point here, which isn't solid evidence. And it contributes greatly to the terrible taste the book puts in your mouth as you read it due to all it's inaccuracies. Her sources are conflicting and bias enemies like Adams, or Latrobe who was also accomplices with Jefferson like Monroe.

Lack of evidence, despite repeated searches

A major plot hole in this theory, is that Congress conducted two deep investigations for two years after the Reynolds affair while Hamilton was still the Treasury Secretary, but there was zero success of finding any hints to possible embezzlement or impropriety. There was the instance in which Hamilton had used a foreign loan to pay a domestic debt, although Congress didn't authorize it or the use. But Hamilton claimed Washington had sanctioned him to, Washington said he could not recall the conversation. Which was likely because he was alienating himself from the situation it was becoming.

Later on 1801, Jefferson appointed Albert Galatin as Treasury Secretary. Galatin had searched through the Treasury books, but again found nothing that could imply criminal embezzlement. Which is definitely notable, because Galatin would have been aiming to find anything that could be used against Hamilton (Since we like using political enemies as sources). And again, just like Mazzeo, there's never been a case of a historian actually finding contemporaneous and evidential indication of embezzlement. It says a lot about the veracity of the original charges.

Hamilton's lack of financial greed

Not to mention, it doesn't fit any of Hamilton's actual characteristics. Hamilton never majorly valued accumulating wealth for himself, which was actually a large concern to his friend's who often worried what would come of his debts and refusal to take on higher paying jobs. It was often a large clash between him and his college friend, Robert Troup, who even joked to Rufus King in 1802 of how they would have to pay for his funeral expenses (Foreshadowing).

Hamilton even shot himself in the foot a few times to avoid being controversial when related to finances. He went so far as to renounce his veteran's benefits after being assigned Treasury, out of the worry he would be accused of prioritizing paying the soldiers for his own benefit. To which, Eliza struggled for years to reverse after his death to keep her family afloat. So, these repeatedly shown morals of Hamilton's wouldn't make sense if he was truly stealing government funds for his own selfish use.

Why would he even have James Reynolds as an accomplice?

Don't get me wrong, Hamilton did have associations with the sort of men that would plot something like this, like John Church and William Duer. And I wouldn't put it past him to actually do something similar with them. But what doesn't make sense - and what Mazzeo fails to ever mention - is why Hamilton wasn't working with them for this sort of thing, but instead Reynolds? Who was a penny-ante thief, and was quickly caught for trying to cash in benefits for veterans who had died without families. He hardly seems like the most credible person Hamilton would hypothetically trust in this serious of an offense. Hamilton even addresses this himself in a draft of the Reynolds Pamphlet;

Taking it even for granted that a Secretary of the Treasury was unprincipled enough to be willing to speculate for gain in ways inconsistent with his office and character is it probable that he should have been disposed to give my confidence to a man of such a description and make use of him as an instrument? He must have been a very stupid one indeed if he could not have contrived objects large enough to have interested men of much greater importance and with whom he could have been perfectly safe. The supposition, besides ascribing to him a wickedness with which his enemies have liberally charged him, ascribes to him also a degree of folly with which he has not before been charged.

Source — Draft of the “Reynolds Pamphlet”, [25 August 1797]

And any actual money made in these alleged transactions evidently never made it's way to Hamilton's own purse. The available evidence clearly shows Hamilton was losing every cent he gave to Reynolds. So, what would have been the goal with throwing national dollars at some citizen man? Blackmail as an explanation for such transactions is far more sensical.

Eliza's impossibly-fathomed forgiveness isn't source material

By far, the worst argument Mazzeo made was the claim that the Reynolds affair obviously couldn't have happened because Eliza just forgave him too easily. To quote, Mazzeo said;

What makes it hard to reconcile the life of Eliza Hamilton with her response to Alexander's infidelity is that we have to posit a personality change occurring suddenly in the summer of 1797. We have to believe that the affair crushed her spirit and turned her from a feisty child of the frontier to a victim of her own self-deception. We have to posit that Eliza simply could not handle the reality of Alexander's affair and would do anything to keep him. When he dies, in a duel fueled at least in part by the scandal, she carries on for decades insisting that Alex- ander has been maligned, idolizing him and insisting on his virtue.

In short, when it comes to Alexander, Eliza begins to look a bit foolish.

Source — Eliza Hamilton: The Extraordinary Life and Times of the Wife of Alexander Hamilton, by Tilar J. Mazzeo · 2019

I don't know who actually thinks that because Eliza forgave Hamilton for the affair, which would have made Eliza so weak and ridiculous, so inconsistent with the women Mazzeo felt she'd knew so well, that it just couldn't possibly have happened. Now, if Mazzeo had taken the time to research the historical context surrounding women and the upperclass society (Which she fails to do, ever, in the biography), she might have known affairs were not uncommon by any means. And the Hamiltons' associated with many men who did the same, like Governor Morris, and lived in places where it was incredibly popular, like Philadelphia. And the society that Eliza was raised in would have taught her that, if anything, the affair was her fault and she wasn't exceeding at her wifely duties enough to please her husband. If we are actually going to try and understand the wider picture that is Eliza Hamilton with the fragments we have from history, we can start with the societal pressure and lessons women were imprinted with from the patriarchy. Of course, we will likely know her true sentiments. But blaming herself and overcoming the turmoil to either forgive herself or her husband, is a lot more convincing than; Eliza took a hit for a man who stole, and he was too much of a coward to admit to it, so instead decided to publicly humiliate his wife to spare himself. Because she loved him that much.

Even so, would subjecting herself to the public shame of an extramarital affair - because as I said, she would have naturally been the most shamed and blamed in the view of a misogynistic society - for a cowardly, selfish, thief, who obviously is willing to use his wife as a scapegoat, truly fit resilient and independent Eliza? If anything, I think that better suits Mazzeo's definition of being “foolish” and “ridiculous”. I don't know where the mindset of forgiveness for infidelity - especially during historical time periods - was that unbelievable.

Anyway, that's my take. In general, the book pisses me off with it's many inaccuracies and disservice to Eliza. But I hope this helps regardless.

if i had a nen ability it would be somewhat like komugi's, except for writing. im pretty sure i'd be an enhancer, so it will work on more or less 100% efficiency. the conditions:

ability can only be activated once a month.

i have to write every day. quality matters (see below), but comes secondary to quantity.

i have to meet a certain monthly word/page count.

the limitations:

i can only write from 4 a.m to 9 a.m. not one minute before or after.

i can only write while shirtless.

i can only write on a specific device.

once the conditions are fulfilled and the limitations satisfied, the ability would activate, massively enhancing my skills/focus and granting me 6 hours of non-stop writing genius. the ability would be more powerful the larger the word/page count and smaller the creativity window, but i can get away with a long 6 hours due to the length of time between two potential activations. if the golden 6 hours pass without any writing, i will be denied activation next month.

if it happens that i EXCEED the determined word/page count, then the hatsu grants me an extra hour of unparalleled creativity for every additional 1k/1 page, with the drawback of complete mental blackout for the next hours for each of these additional 1k/1 page.

since all art is subjective, my own perception of the quality of the writing would play a role in the effectiveness of any particular activation; the better i regard my output, the better enhanced my mental faculties and focus. in theory, i can fulfill the allotted wordcount by copypasting the word "ass" 30 thousand times in a row, the hatsu would still activate, but it would be super weak and ineffective.

it would be called The Poor Author's Pudding.

the vow, of course, is that if i dont meet this wordcount each month, under these conditions and with these limitations, i will die.

#i used to sit for hours making up nen abilities in my head #but theres no point fashioning some complicated ability that wouldnt naturally arise from preexisting desires and needs #and deep existential fears #im fine with a life of poverty and obscurity (hence the name after the eliza acton recipe)#(and shes a now forgotten poet who couldnt just be a poet)#im not fine with a life where im not a writer #the thought that death would be preferable is the perfect fertile ground for a strong hatsu #j

When Bradley startles, Vee’s grip on him tightens, the spirit whimpering in their sleep. It was as if, even while asleep, they were afraid that Bradley would leave. That they would be alone again. However, when he hugs them tighter, they seem to relax, nuzzling against him.

“Yeah. He’s with you-know-who now. But I’m the one dealing with them. He’s just making sure they don’t get any ideas.”

They smile. “Hey, anything for Vee. And we’ll be sure to pass on your thanks.”

…their eyes drift down to Vee. Their heart feels heavy, just looking at them.

“…We are, too,” they murmur. “…we’ll be back in a sec, Vee. There’s… someone we gotta take care of, first.”

They set the pendant down by them, an eerie shine going across it. They give one last wave before they leave.

And finally, Vee is safe. - @the-glitchy-voyager

Bradley rests his head on top of Vee's. A part of him spikes with rage at the mere mention of Joule but he knows he can't do anything. Tenebris - and presumably Rex - is taking care of Joule. Bradley is needed here. He is more useful to Vee like this. He just nods, stroking his fingers through their red hair.

"Okay. If they wake up before you come back, I'll let them know you were here. And brought their pendant back."

Speaking of which, he reaches over and grabs it. Putting it on Vee would be difficult without waking them so he simply places it on top of their chest for now. He goes back to hugging them, the soft music in the room and the warmth of the celestial leaning against him lulling him back to a relaxed cozy state.

He is certain they're going to be alright. He, Tenny and evidently Rex will make sure nothing bad is going to happen to them. Joule is powerless and Vee has their pendant back. Everything will be okay.
