Laurens:
I may not live to see our glory
Eliza:
Alexander, there’s a letter for you from South Carolina
Laurens:
But I will gladly join the fight
Hamilton:
It’s from John Laurens. I’ll read it later
Eliza:
No, it’s not
Laurens:
And when our children tell our story
Hamilton:
Will you read it?
Laurens:
They’ll tell the story of tonight
Eliza:
«On Tuesday, the twenty-seventh, Lieutenant Colonel John Laurens was killed in a gunfight against British troops in South Carolina.
These troops had not yet received word from Yorktown that the war was over.
He’s buried here until his family can send for his remains.
As you may know, Lieutenant Colonel Laurens was engaged in recruiting three thousand men for the first all-black military regiment.
The surviving members of this regiment have been returned to their masters.»
Laurens:
Tomorrow there’ll be more of us
Eliza:
Alexander, are you alright?
Hamilton:
I have so much work to do
