August 25, 1773 Dear Mom, Dad, and lil Joe, I was just informing you I’m okay and I've seen a lot since I joined like execution, and I have killed a lot of men. I wish it did not have to be this way but it must. Our next step will be ambushing a British base in a week. I wish it was over and we had freedom. We’re sending a spy to check up on the Redcoats base that we are ambushing
and getting some supplies. We’re staying in a tavern for the night. It won't be soon till we have independence from Britain. I won’t stop fighting for my family ever. Mom, think of me as your little minutemen. Tonight there was a conflict with the tavern owner he didn't want tons of men in the tavern, but we made a deal that we would give his children and wife freedom one day. Mom must go. I'm up for watch duty. I'll send another letter soon. Sincerely your son, Mike
