happy birthday john laurens !! i won't copy and paste the text i did for tumblr and hamino, but to sum it up, you mean a lot of me. i really, really think you are wonderful for standing up what you believe(d) in. you were such a smart, compassionate (as in he cared for those who had less than him) and all-around amazing man. happy birthday, i hope you are happy, wherever you are. - (i made 4 versions of this, just because i couldn't decide which one to post ! two have filters, two have words, two have no filters, two have no words)
art by me ! posted on tumblr and the hamilton amino (hamino) ! - based off of john's peale portrait - though it may not be accurate, it was the only one done in his lifetime
