"Oh," Burr says, drawing his head up and smiling at the look on Hamilton's face. Not often, he is rendered speechless. "Did I not tell you? He had a good deal of investments, and some property in New York. He planned to build a mansion there, after the war. I suppose before the invasion he sent some letters, or had his will altered, in case something happened. I am not sure how legally sound any of it is, but he doesn't have much family besides his cousin, and I am sure there would be a riot, should the widow of the general and mother of his child be left destitute."

And then Burr drops his head back down and laughs. "Oh, I am sure Timothy will be scandalized, if he will still talk to me. That I should be rewarded for my sins, or something similar. I think we should invite him as soon as possible. It would be very entertaining to me. And I could show you off. Mr. Hamilton, on the arm of the wealthy Mr. Burr."
