My name is Rylee and I am a colonial soilder. Dear family, I have been sleeping in the freezing cold, under a tent for the past couple months. The tent had no bottom to it, so I've been sleeping on the hard, dirty grounds. When it was raining the ground was muddy and cold. I have no pillow to lay on, so my head rests on the ground when I sleep. We have been eating bread, rice, and corn. For our uniforms we have shoes that barley cover our whole foot, we have a hat that covers our head. We also have a very light coat, not enough to keep us warm at night. Our weapons were not the strongest built guns in the world but they were good enough for us to win some battles. We have fought in a ton of wars. We nave won the battle of Saratoga, It was a huge win for us. We had to stay at a place called Valley Forge, it was freezing and there was snow everywhere. We built huts for us to sleep in. The conditions we are in are horrible it is very freezing, we have barley any cover over our bodies at night. It is beginning to snow so it's going to get more cold. I will be home soon Sincerely, Rylee
