the craziest part of some of the shit Adams wrote about Hamilton is that it was written years after his death. like get a grip, we know you hated Hamilton, but the man was semi-recently killed. 1805 and 1806 are two of the most damning letters where he's shit-talking and calling Hamilton a bastard brat, a Scottish creole, insolent coxcomb, a creature in delirium of ambition, etc etc.

It's Fichu Friday!
This lovely ca.1800-25 fichu is from the V&A collection.
A fichu is a triangle-shaped piece of fabric which was worn around the decolletage.
Object description from the V&A website:
"Triangular fichu of delicate, but fairly large, drochel net. Around the edges, a delicate pattern of thin stemmed flowers entirely worked in cloth stitch with raised, woven edges. Attached to the fichu is an edging of poor quality Honiton bobbin lace."
