Dear Parents, Hello everyone just writing to tell u how I am doing. I am a Colonial Soldier. Right now me and my troops are living in a 8 by 10 tent and it is cold, wet and we share it with about 5 people and have a matrise made of hay.Today we had some grapes, we found a deer ,and some water and we dont get much.We get about a vine of grapes a slice of deer ,and one glass of water. Also we had squirl stew and some bass it was so nasty. Are uniforms are so nasty we have nothing we wear rags and are shoes are so bad. We also were hats on our feet. While the Brittish have leather and pretty black shoes.Some times we have awsome weapons but not enough amo like we have many kinds of guns and the cannons ,o the canons are so cool. My training is not much because we are traviling most of the time ,but we do practice sometimes but it is so boring because we cant us amunition. The last battle I was in I saw many die. I herd that 200,000 died.Yesterday my troops and I lost a very good friend in battle ,and he should have not been fighting because he already had a disease. My troops have been to many battles,we have had many defeats and victories.We went to New York on August and Trenton in December,Prinstan in January and the last war was Brandywines in September. Burrrr it is so cold in my tent we have nothing at all to sleep in and it has snowed for 7 days .Yesterday we also went to Valley Forge and a man named Steuben trained us all we needed to know, and now we are awsome at fighting. Sinserly, Alyssa
