Dear Mom, I am fighting as a British solider in the Revolutionary War. The place were I sleep is awful!!!!!!! The bed that sleep on is very rough and cold. The bed that I sleep on is the ground. It's very bumpy and hard. I barley get any sleep through the cold nights. Sometimes I would go into peoples house and take there house. I eat very little food if I was out in the cold in would be eating slop. Since the Quartering Act I could go eat whatever but I sometimes had ate leaf soup, salty meats, or just slop. The uniform that I wore was very wooly and warm. It was wearing the coat it was very heavy on my shoulders. It was very big and red. The weapons that we used were muskets and rifles. The muskets were very inaccurate. The trannning that we did was very difficult, a other fighters would put apples on their head and then shoot the apples off of our heads. The engagements that I witnessed and fought in was harsh people got shot the other army was very tough. Then other soldiers started running towards us and I shot them. The living conditions were very harsh and cold my clothes were ripped in my legs my shoes were torn and my feet are very cold have frost bite in them they hurt very much. The reason why I am fighting is because I want to stop this fighting and come to peace but that will not soon happen. I hope I hear back from you guys. Love you all!!!!!

Love, Ayren
