 * 1) 7 I am a Colonial Soldier durring the Revolutionary War. Im writing home to my family.

Dear Family, I miss all of you so much, I look forward to seeing all of you very soon. So far everything is good, I sleep on a cot with 3 whool blankets in a small tent. I am in a small tent with 10 other people, my friends that I have grown very close to. At night it gets very cold sometimes. We all wake up at 5:15 A.M. and we get our uniforms on, our uniforms are red, blue, and brown the uniforms are very heavy, but they keep me warm. Then we all eat breakfast, we have oatmeal for breakfast. After Breakfast we have a 5 minuet bathroom break. when everyone is done using the restroom we go outside and line up. We each are given our own weapons to use, along with a little pouch full of muskette balls. Training, is very hard, cold, and long. It is worth it. They teach you how to shoot a gun, and how to aim your gun, but it wasn't a lot of training. Our living conditions were very poor we did not have a lot of money for uniforms, weapons, and more. I witnessed a few deaths of my fellow soldiers, in war they were trying to run away from the Britishs' cannon but unfortuantly he didn't get down fast enough. I am fighting because I want to protect my country and my family. It also gives me something to do, but even though I have been here for a long time I cannot wait until I come home to see all of you guys!!! Well I hope this letter gets to you soon, and I hope you guys write back and I will talk ton you guys soon, I love you all!!!

Love you all, Love Shawnna.
