The Reynolds Pamphlet Have you read this? Alexander Hamilton had a torrid affair. And he wrote it down right there. Highlights! The charge against me Is a connection with one James Reynolds. For purposes of improper speculation. My real crime is an amorous connection with his wife, for considerable time with his knowing consent. I had frequent meetings with her, most of them at my own house. Mrs. Hamilton with our children being absent, on a visit to her father.
