This is an undated photo of an etching of Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton fought in the Revolutionary War and he became one of six aides-de-camp, secretaries, in 1777 and became the first Secretary of the Treasury in 1789. As a member of Congress he played a key role in the ratification of the U.S. Constitution and was the only New York delegate to sign the document. He died in 1804 in a duel with Aaron Burr.

Javier Munoz, left, who plays Alexander Hamilton in the enormously popular Broadway hip-hop musical "Hamilton," laughs with the show's set designer David Korins as they read a letter from Hamilton to an unnamed recipient, possibly Jeremiah Wadsworth, about the 1796 presidential election, Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2017, at Sotheby's auction house in New York. This and a trove of artifacts related to Alexander Hamilton, including love letters to his wife, Eliza, will be offered up for auction at Sotheby's Jan. 18, part of "Americana week." Munoz says holding and reading Hamilton's private thoughts about everything from his love life to war in America will have a deep effect on his Broadway performance. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)
