Dear Mom,Dad,Caileigh and Chase,

Well where do I begin? I sleep in a tent with a bed of snow because the bottom tore off in a nasty cold storm. I am freezing!!! Mom, the food we have here is nothing like your home cookings I miss your cooking more than anything we are starving, what food we do have is very little. We eat biscuits,bread and very little meat what meat we have is what we have to catch ourselves. This is gross but some of the soilders are starting to eat their shoes. EEEWWW. My uniform is not warm at all, I did make it though. The colors are black with magenta lining and cuffs.

We have very little weapons but we do have muskets, I'm not very good with working them and with the cold winter my hands are very cold and is hard to move my fingers. I have no training,I wish we have training it would help me so much! Do you know how long it's been since I've bathed?...A MONTH!!! I feel sooo gross!

I was in a battle and it was very bloody. There were dead people all over I actually lost some of my friends. I watched the Battle of Trenton, it was very intense! I fought in the Battle of Saratoga it was the turning point of the Revolutionary war. It was also the greatest victory yet for the American forces. I'm just happy I survived and didnt get shot.

The holidays are almost here, so please wish the family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and tell them I wish I could come for Christmas. I Love them all! Love Calsey Merry Christmas:)
