Group+8+8th

Dear Family,

We just got to Valley Forge; it is very cold. There is no sign of the british army, which is good because I only have five shots left in my musket. The conditions are harsh many of us have nothing to wear on our feet and nothing to sleep upon. Dont worry about me though. I am lucky that I have somthing to sleep on and something to wear on my feet. Some of us are so hungry that we are eating our clolthes. If you could, please send me some more things to wear on my feet to keep me warm. I hope everything is going good at the farm. Please right back.

Thanks.

Simon
