A modern humorous insult is presented as a historical letter without a reliable source.

Key takeaway: Do not present the alleged correspondence as established fact.

Who actually said this?

The modern word-count claim and humorous chair threat lack a reliable historical Hamilton source; not established as historical correspondence.
