Dear family and friends,

I write this letter as a proud colonial soldier to tell you about the life as a girl colonial soldier. My fellow members and I sleep anywhere we can. Sometimes were lucky enough to sleep in tents other times we have to sleep on the cold harsh ground. The soldiers here aren't always that lucky because so many soldiers not enough tents so most the time soldiers are on the ground looking at the stars in order to sleep that night. We some times have to sleep with no blakets and in the winter it's really cold many may die. Why you might ask why some go without blankets is because supplies are low and with many soldier to supply some go without. All the soldiers here eat the supplies they are given or food they find such as fruit and some meats some times were get low on food and starve for a few days. We may stare and get really hungry were we will eat anything but with that sometimes it makes us but soldiers and stronger ones too. Uniforms are scarce but mostly what they were is clothes that they can use to go to battle didn't really matter to use as long as we have something to were and weapons to protects us from the British. The women soldiers here sometimes make the clothes or stich them back up to were they normally were to keep clothes ready and for use in battle everyday. Weapons are anything they can use to protect themselves to any kind of guns like riffles muskets and used ammunition and musket balls to fire them off these protected them and helped them win many battles. These weapons were thier life if they lost them so did we lose our life. But when we have them by or side to never let them go we are sure to be more likely to be safe and win a battle. We were brutally trained harshly but with that we were made better soldiers training wasn't all that easy if you wanted to be a soldier you had to work really hard to get it if not you could die really easily. I believe that our training officers has fought us well and with that we thank him for helping us win many battles against the British. We may have not liked training but if we had gone without it any longer then all of as would have did and then there wouldn't be a war against the british. Now I agree with lots of my fellow soldiers that the milita isn't for everyone to join you must train hard and fight for things you love for your life. Some of the engagements that we have fought and some we've won are these. Two major battles I want to tell you about are battle of Saratoga and the battle at valley forge these battles were rough and harsh but we got through them we may not have won them all but we were fighting for our homes, families, and for freedom. I fight for you my family and friends so that you can have your own life and do whatever you want so when we get that I will come home and the war will be over. Living conditions aren't all that good but we try not to complain but sometimes we can't help it see you soon family.

Love,autumn
