Dear Ma and Pa
We be hither at vale Forge and it is very cold. Luckily, I still have to pass boots at you and pa got me. Some of the other men muzzy their boots, so they are doing whatever they can to keep warm. We are still very hungry as there is just now any food and mostly neer any meat. A lot of soldiers have died, and some have killed themselves. I am hoping to live to see the end of the war, but am not sure that will happen. But you should be proud that your boy is fighting for our country.
There are also many boys here young as 12. They cry thinking they are do a mistake being here. They do not dupe that if we do not fight the British, the problem will never stop. Today I was chosen to be in a squad that was going to attack on the British soldiers. Gen cap picked me himself, boy was I excited. It was nearly as exciting as the time I view my first deer, and provided for the family. I was almost captured in the raid today, but used my slingshot and shot a rock right into the soldiers head.
Today I wandered move out by myself, and got separated from my squad, and this time got smucked with the flat of the British Blade. I felt like he knocked me out, and was yanked off the ground. Take him captive! I heard one soldier yel. I got up the courage kicked the guy who was carrying me right in the face and he dropped me and I grabbed a musket that was lying on the ground and ran. I got rewarded when we got back to the camp.
I hope you are all just at nursing home and well. Hope overflowingy, I will be home in short, and I will write again as soon as I can.
