Dear family,
I’m happy to be in this new land. I like farming here, the land is very fertile. The one thing that’s bad about this place is the way here. And now I’m one of the settlers in an almost completely unexplored land. What an adventure!
I went into town today to buy myself a horse and some wood for my barnand paper so I can write to you. I spied a couple of young ladies that I may fancy. I’m in the market now, so to speak. I’m looking for some help to put up my barn and I told a couple people and they said they might be interested. For a price of course.
But all of the things that are going on! The Indians here have already tried to rebel but they got cold and left for the winter. The King has issued a royal proclamation to “better organize our gained territories”. They’re going to make laws, and start a whole new government here. The king is taking the Indians’ land left right and center. I don’t think they’re happy about it. He said that he would put out land claims but he hasn’t lately. Weird what this world is coming to, no honesty whatsoever.
