John Laurens is not appreciated as the comedic genius he is so here are two of my favorite quotes of his.

[John writing to his father about a fire in Charleston] “I deplore the misfortune of Charles Town if it has fallen upon Individuals of moderate fortune; if it affects only a number of rich men & will contribute to equalizing estates I shall not regret it.”

Like okay Comrade John!!

[John writing to his father TO REVEAL HE GOT A WOMAN PREGNANT AND MARRIED HER LIKE NO BIG DEAL I GUESS] “Will you forgive me Sir for adding a Daughter in Law to your Family without first asking your Consent. I must reserve particulars ‘till I have the pleasure of seeing you. My Wife M’ Manning’s youngest daughter promises soon to give you a Grand Child.”
