Dear family, I slept on the ground of vally forage and I was freezing. Also how is Grandma Judy? are you ok? I eat soap,leather,and tree bark! My uniform is ripped,burnned,and full of bullet holes. My musket won't fire, and I only have 15 musket balls left! I was trained by Baron von Steuben. He was a good trainer though. The battle of "Bunker Hill" was not fun and I was wounded in the battle! Also I've heard about the other battles.The living conditons were terrable.We all were 1inch close to death ,but we made it through the bad part now it is going to get worse.I will get our freedom and rights if I die will you take care of Grandma Judy?

sincerely, colonial soldier Ian Snopkowski
