Dear mother,
How are you doing back home? Has Mrs. Norrington Stopped cutting your flowers yet? That devil of a lady. How’s dad? Has he stopped drinking? My guess is no. And brother. Is he still thieving for money? I am sorry that I have not sent a letter in a while but money has been short and paper more expensive.
My wife she is now dead, and I have been kicked off my land. I have been sent to one of the camps with my three children in Sorel. Money is still scarce but I am starting to settle. I have land given by the king and have finished my house. I don’t know if I am going to build a mill for my wheat because the local mill really isn’t so local to us. Although we have had to beg at times we are fine and can’t wait to finally be on our way in these god forsaken colonies. Wish me luck, in the days ahead of us.
Your son,
Peter Van Alstine
