Re: \"as long as you feel it should be\"
This is a natural stage in the development of a writer. You have the technique and a decent vocabulary. Now, you are struggling w/ precision.
Don't sweat it, young blood. It's frustrating but every educated person goes through it.
Do you really need to give a blowbyblow account of how it all went down. What about a summary. How about something like "The correspondence between Burr and Hamilton begin to sour because of the grandiose egos of the two men (or something). Burr wanted [this] while Hamilton wanted [this] and neither party would budge."
