My dear, Angel,

If you are reading this, I am most likely dead. A man insulted you, calling you "nothing but a runaway whore", and I had no choice but to stick up for you. He challenged me to a duel, and I accepted. If I'm not back by the time you find this, assume the worst.

Remember that I love you, and will always be with you. You're the best thing that ever happened to me. I never thought I'd say this, but, I found someone I loved more then Delilah. And that was you.

The duel took place in Weehawken, New Jersey. Where Alexander and Philip were shot. I thought it would be a nice place to die defending your honor.

I love you, TJ, Ruby, Claire, and little Paul. I wish I could see them grow, but that chance is gone now. See you all in the afterlife.

Ever yours, Thomas Hutchens
