Dear Vegi,

The war on the colonial side is getting harder. In the beginning we had lots of supplies, but now we have very little. The soles of our shoes are wearing down and our clothes are falling apart. It was summer when I signed up, now it is winter. We had to burn our blankets for warmth. I wish I had trained for this but the man who was here to train us died in his sleep. From the cold I guess. I thought it would be easy to fight, but I now know that it was harder than anyone had ever expected. We are supposed to get a new trainer and I am not looking forward to it. They train me very hard and do not let me rest. I am in charge of cleaning the muskets. They aren't used very much right now, but they will be soon. We have been in the battle of Concord and Lexington. That is all. If you have any extra supplies can you please send them to me?

Best Regards, Noa Stephens
