Dear Family,

The days here in Valley Forge are getting harder by the minute, we are running out of food, the weather is painfully freezing, we have an extremely limited supply of medicine. I don't know how much longer we are going to be able to make it. The only person keeping me sane right now is General Washington, he is so very loyal to his men. During the day most of us are huddling together in our very enclosed tents and/or log cabins. We usually try to eat about three meals a day but with the cold weather and other soldiers not being rational, we sometimes go days without eating. I can feel my stomach slowly eating away at itself. When we do eat, its usually pork, bread, cornmeal and if we're lucky, rum and/or whiskey. The cold weather and lack of positivity makes me feel depressed but the stress of war drowns it out. I do truly miss home, I would give anything to be back with my family. Hopefully I will see you all soon.

Dear Mom and Dad, I know it’s been a long time since I've written a letter to you. The reason is really easy to explain, the harsh conditions of the weather, the little amount of food, and disease. All of those made it hard to write letters with my hand trembling because of the cold and freezing temperatures and me getting all those kinds or sickness. I’m fine now, I feel brave. Many people here look like they regret it. Coming here. I feel brave. General Washinton, the leader, was very brave. He’d make sure we camped near somewhere that’s safe. In fact, Washington camped in a place we call Valley Forge. It is surrounded with many defenses in case the Britan come to invade. Mom, Dad, I’m safe and sound. I’m healthy and happy. America will soon be free. Have hope
