About this item

I meet you in every dream

Few figures in the history of the United States have left such a profound legacy as that of Alexander Hamilton, America's first Secretary to the Treasury. This modern sterling silver pendant is inscribed with a delightful quotation from Hamilton's intimate letter to Elizabeth Schuyler, dated October 5, 1780, only a few weeks before their marriage. It displays his elegance as a wordsmith, his charm and his humanity, often forgotten among the great issues of military history and statesmanship for which he is best remembered.

Hamilton's complete sentence read: "I meet you in every dream - and when I wake I cannot close my eyes again for ruminating on your sweetnesses."

Pendant measures 1" diameter.

Choose from 18"or 20" sterling silver chain
