this week we talked about some letters that some well known people have either written or received. One of the letters i had involved james reynolds confronting Alexander Hamilton that he cheated on his wife with James’s wife. He asked Hamilton for a thousand dollars and in return, james will leave without saying a word to anyone. And even though Hamilton gave him the money, Hamilton eventually ratted himself anyway.
The other letter I did was from someone in the FBI anonymously writing to Martin Luther King. They wrote this letter as a threat saying how he is evil and how “Satan could do no more.” There was also a repetitiveness of him saying how he is done and how he is finished. Along with the letters, they sent the recordings or Martin with various women in various hotel rooms. As a result of this letter, Martin had apparently committed suicide. Some say that the letter was implying that he was meant to commit suicide, but it’s still unsure. When reading this letter you could see how strong of a threat this was, I even thought i was being threatened by just reading it.
