Hey guys… So I was at Governor’s Ball Sunday night (meaning I missed the season finale :() and I spent the day in New York yesterday, so I stopped by Fraunces Tavern. For those of you who don’t know, it’s the oldest building in New York, and where George Washington bid farewell to his officers after the Revolutionary War had been won (among other things). Anyways, the museum’s main source about that night was none other than Benjamin Tallmadge! They had his memoir on display, as well as a ton of plaques with his quotes and portraits. I figured I might as well share it with my fellow Turn fans… I’m sure some of you all have seen it already but for those of you who haven’t, I thought it was pretty cool.

P.S. Sorry the picture quality sucks.

Can we just talk about how when Nathaniel Sackett said “And I thought you were a graduate of Yale” and Ben later responded in 3 languages— that Ben stopped it there and didn’t spend any more time trying to prove he was smart.

Instead, he immediately grabbed a seat and opened his notebook and was like TEACH ME ALL YOU KNOW ABOUT SPYING I’M A FAST LEARNER I CAN DO THIS

THIS IS WHY I LOVE BEN TALLMADGE
