In a letter to Rufus King , Robert Troup wrote of Alexander Hamilton , " Never did I see a man so completely overwhelmed with grief as Hamilton had been . " Nevertheless , after Philip 's death , the elder Hamilton was said to be civil and professional in his relationship with Eacker . Hamilton would later die in a duel with Aaron Burr only a few years later , on July 11 , 1804 , on the same dueling ground in Weehawken
