//Dear family, a////s you know I am fighting in the revolutionary war. I is tough. I sleep in a tent. It is very cold. We don't have enough blankets for everyone doesn't get a blanket everyday. We have to switch on and off.// //We eat corn, rice, and meat that we got from killing some animals. Also we eat some beef.// //The uniform I were, I wouldn't even call it a uniform. All we have is thin clothing. Basicly what we brought when we entered the war. The thing that is the worst is that we have no shoes. It is very cold an I think I have hypothermia in my feet.// //We don't have very good weapons like the British do. Us colonists only have pitchforks. Some but very few rifes and shotguns. We also have guns that we shoot musket balls out of.// //We've been training a lot. We've been trying to get ready for more battles. We have been doing target practice.// //I have been in a lot of battles so far. they have been really really bloody. I still have nightmares from the first battle that we fought in. I have fought in the battle of plymouth. In that war the british killed my friend with a sword. The person that did this, I chased down and shot him. Then I beheaded him because of my anger. Then I took a cannon and shot him with it when he was dead because I was mad. Then I was there in Boston when the British shot those people. Also I was there in the battle of Trenton. I got shot but kept on fighting. I shot and killed 25 British soldiers in that war. The living conditions are horrible. We have no shoes. there is a lot of snow on the ground and without any shoes it is very very cold. I think most of the soldiers including me have hypothermia.// //The reason we are fighting is because the British shouldn'd be taxing us and I'm not going to take it anymore. "No taxation without representation"! Also I'm fighting for my freedom and everyone's freedom. Another reason i'm fighting is because I want you and everyone safe from the British. I should be home soon.// //Sincerely,// //Josh//
