"How dare you accuse me of fabricating that pejorative article. Hamilton always seemed like a Monarchist to me. This revelation confirms everything that I ever believed. Maybe now the nation will forgive me for that unfortunate incident in 1804!
However, since you seem unmoved by my claimed innocence, I can provide you with a letter that I received mere days after I shot Alexander. It is amble proof of our kinship.
If you wanted to consider actual suspects, then I might suggest that you look into the motive? I believe that only a person who was ideologically opposed to Hamilton would stand to benefit from his downfall.
Now that you have your evidence, you must excuse me as I return to my Study."
