April 9,1772,
Dear Taden Graves,
I am waiting till April 11,1772, for the five mile walk to Boston to ambush the Colonists, through the trees, swamp,and the cold weather, that is 21 degrees. Our guns and ammo are loaded and ready to fire. We have guns that can shoot as far as 20 miles. We have 8,000 guns and 500 pounds of gunpowder. I wondered if the Colonists were ready to fire? They have 13 canons. We have 15 cannot,but theirs have more power and can,shoot farther. Wars are scary when friends and family die in our eye sight.Camp is boring and tiring.I have to get the water for the GernaI. I have to walk a half a mile to get the water at a spring. But there's a valley with moist ground all day long no matter what the temperature is.There is about 7,000 men on the British side and 6,000 on the Colonists.I think most of the men are scared like me but their are brave soldier’s too. I’m a soldier and have a musket. When I see a soldier,I am not afraid to shoot him.
Sincerely,
Francis
