Titre : Tomorrow There´ll Be More of Us (Laurens Interlude)
[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."
