Dear,Family I am a Colonial soldier in the war against Britain .I now sleep in harsh conditions the air at night is so cold that when you wake up your boots are frozen to the ground.I eat scraps of food and sometimes plants on the ground. I eat so very little that i have barely any energy to fight.My uniform is old clothes that i once wore and when they get torn enough i will take clothes off the dead just to stay warm.My weapon is a slow loading musket and very long and also hard to carry.The ammo supply is running short so its harder to fight.My training was just fighting with my relatives as practice for real fighting in combat.The battle I fought was the war in Trenton, Conneticut and came out with a defeat against the mercenaries capturing 900 british soldiers and Hessians.My living conditions got a little better as time went on but not much the brutal winter was my biggest enemy always trying to keep warm.I am fighting for my country so Americans can be free Colonies from British control.

Sincerialy, Levi
