Reading Müller's descriptions of Kinloch makes me 1) question his taste in men and 2) imagine what a meeting between Müller and Laurens would have been like.

An alternative meme:

#Müller: Kinloch is the most morally perfect person :) #Laurens: What morals does that man have? #Francis Kinloch #Johannes von Müller #Johannes von Muller #John Laurens

Okay, well, if everyone's drawing Kinloch...!

Inspired by @vocalized-intrusive-thoughts sharing their version, and based on the Rosenthal etching, but we're making him twenty-some years younger and giving him the most fashionable romantic cut that a 1770s boy can buy.

#i have no evidence for this but i like to imagine that he was quite vain haha #francis kinloch #18th century history #john laurens #amrev

Mesdames, dit-il, vous voyez un homme qui vient du pays des sauvages et qui n'en a pas l'air. Ladies, he said, here is a man who comes from the country of savages but who does not have that air.

This is Voltaire commenting on meeting none other than Francis Kinloch – as quoted in Voltaire et Genève by Gustave Desnoiresterres (1875) (my translation).

gosh history is so crazy.. I was researching the Laurens’ children and i was looking into Henry laurens jr, I found his wife then I noticed the name “Kinloch”..

I looked and found out that she is the sister of Francis Kinloch’s wife crazy right?…

(I also couldn’t help but notice how much of an age gap there is between both of their wives 😨)

BUT THEN I also realised that Henry jr named his son “John laurens” which is cute but I looked into John and saw..

That this John was a year older than yk THE John laurens when he died and ALSO the year of his death was the age of John laurens when he died… tell me I’m not the only one who finds this crazy 😨

Hi Francis, how ya doing?

"Not very good," Francis said as he dramatically looked away. He decided he was gonna be an emo, little bitch that day. Aesthetically, of course.

John Laurens to Francis Kinloch, [September 30, 1776]

I have long been indebted to you a Letter, which I am the more sorry for, as there seems to be an explanation wanting on my part, of some Things in the Letter which gave Rise to your last, I have no Copies of what I write, and therefore can’t be exactly sure of all the Expressions which I used in my Letter. this I am persuaded of that there was nothing in it that could be construed to throw any Imputation upon the Qualities of your Heart on account of the side you took in our political Dispute which I shall not continue, and which will therefore end as much Disputes generally do, each party firmly retaining the Opinion with which he set out. You Love withtaken me too in (...) other points, no Americans is so seldom seen at the Carolina Coffee Home as damn, no Man that had so much time For the Purpose looks so Little into public papers, you may judge of this, when I tell you I only give myself the trouble to read Intelligence when I hear it is authentic._ It was from the great Opinion I had of your Heart that I first wish'd to form a Friendship with you, it is from the great opinion that I still have of it, that I am exceedingly desirous of cultivating and improving that Friendship._ when I said that a Monarchy was the Nursery of Humans Desparity, I never meant to insinuate that every Man who balanced it's Disadvantage, and we therefore prefer it to all others, was necepasily tinctur'd with those Vices which Flownin in a Monarchy—no more than I meant to say that (...) myself must necessarily be earnested by breathing this contagious Air._ I still think your political principles wrong, the Sentiments which you have adopted with respect to your own Country strike me with horrour, and I hope you'll change them_ but I am persuaded you think they are right, and your Heart with me is unimpeached_

I have been hither to everything in studying the Law; according to the original plan I was to have start a Year longer in England, but I am now determined ___ next Vesel from N. York brings an account of a Treaty of Accommodation being on foot between Independent Hate of America, and this Country to embark for Carolina._ you will nodoubt have some comments for me. This will be deliver'd to you by Mr. Rich. Hammond a Young Mercht who has wisely resolved to bestow some Culture on his venture(?) before he continues himself to the Counting House seriously_ he will give you fine pamphlets which I have long promised you._ if you will easily be kind as to bring him some useful Hint for his Conduct at Geneva you will oblige me very much; I have recommended him to Chauvet's House.

You seem to be in such high Spirits at Writing the name of fair Miss Stephens, that I have a notion there is a Liaison de Coeur in question, if so I congratulate you both with all my Heart, I have not seen her a great while but shall see her with more pleasure than ever if she is to be yours_ Beware of Italy my Friend and believe me to be yours sincerely John Laurens

As the fair lady abovementioned in advice to go to Italy for her Health, you will probably leave Geneva sooner then you intended; in care this does not arrive in time for your perusal at Genthod, I have directed Mr. Hammond to find only your address forwar it to you._ present my best Respects to our Country woman and believe me yours. JL.

Okay so quick question, who the hell is Francis Kinloch? I thought that he was just some random general but i just seen someone say that he was "the only breakup John experienced" and I'm so confused

#francis kinloch #also #john laurens #i guess

[john-laurens]

Kinloch: Fellas, is it gay to call your guy friend your dear little azure-eyed historian, your lost sheep, your little laughing one, your full moon, your constellation, your rising sun? Kinloch: Is it also gay to tell this guy friend the attractiveness of every woman you meet and provide him with descriptions of your many sexual encounters with women?

Kinloch, Vegobre, and Laurens are the literally just the Gay Trio but in different fonts

Have a little snippet of John and Francis in Geneva!

~~~

“Oh, you all think me ignorant,” Kinloch grumbles.

They stumble their way across the town square, deserted except for a lone officer guarding the door to the courthouse.

“Don’t be so dramatic,” John chides, knocking Kinloch’s arm with the back of his, a little too drunk to care about discretion. “But you must concede that our side has some merit.”

“Your side!”

“Well— yes.” He doesn’t want to fight, least of all about politics, but he won’t concede this point. “I have read extensively on it, and the rightness - the goodness - of a meritocratic—“

“Oh, you and your reading, Jack - for god’s sake!” Kinloch exclaims. “Not all wisdom is in books.”

He frowns. “But Rousseau—”

Kinloch covers his ears with his hands, humming an obnoxious tune and drawing the bored gaze of the guard. John ducks his head and pushes his hands into his pockets.

“You’re impossible,” he mutters, once Kinloch has dropped his hands again.

“I am tired. And bored. Christ, do you only talk of virtue and poetry, and drink only water, and eat dry bread?”

“This is not Eton, Frank - it’s Geneva.”

Kinloch turns around, walking backwards and spreading his arms wide as though to encompass the city. “And when did Geneva become a monastery?” he cries out, his voice ringing in the empty square.

We shall meet again – we shall live to look back upon all that has happen’d as upon a troubled dream, & your face will be as easy to shave as ever

Francis Kinloch to Johannes von Müller, 4 September 1803

Kinloch writes this reassuring line to his dear friend Müller in the wake of a heartbreaking scandal; Müller had recently suffered almost total financial ruin (not to mention shame and legal peril) as a result of responding to faked homoerotic love letters from a fictional Hungarian count.

This sentiment is really tender and touching for two reasons. First, it’s plain that Kinloch isn’t bothered at all by the scandal or Müller’s having been outed as homosexual (almost certainly because he was well aware of this from his own first-hand experiences in the 1770s). He even makes a point of emphasising his continuing “sincere and unalterable friendship” for Müller.

Second, Kinloch must have heard (or intuited) that the stress of the situation had robbed Müller of his famously round and soft baby-face. So, he reassures Müller that he will recover his wellness soon enough - making his now-haggard and angular face “easy to shave” again.
