Du Ponceau: I'm nearsighted, which basically means I can only see objects right in front of my face.

I'm sorry in case you can't tell I love him but let's be frank he was SKETCHY.
“The Baron watched over me with a father’s care. He well knew the dangers, to which an inexperienced young man was exposed to in this land of liberty, and took pains to guard me against them. “If,” said he once to me, (not long after our arrival in this country,) “if you write in the newspapers, or get married I will renounce you.” This fatherly advice made a strong impression on my mind, and was a salutary check to me on more than one occasion.”
— Autobiographical Letters of Peter S. Duponceau So, apparently, Steuben explicitly told Duponceau he wasn’t allowed to get married. Which is… interesting. And that Duponceau regarded it as ‘beneficial’ “advice” instead of what it really sounds like………. I don’t know how I feel about this quote overall honestly. Keep in mind, Duponceau was only 17 when he came to America with Steuben as his military secretary. (And Duponceau would actually marry twice.)
YES
Why don’t people write emails like like old timey politicians who have vague sexual tension anymore
Did y'all see my reblog response thingy about Hammie liking ice cream 😭😭😭
