Dear Diary,
20, Day 2: That morning my mom walked in crying, “ I have been fired from work.”
She worked at a place that sews clothing for the Continental Army. “They said with all this arguing and the war they could not afford to pay me any more, but they let everyone else stay. They just don’t like the fact that I am against the king.”
After we all ate breakfast, my brothers went back to camp. Father and mother kept arguing like they always do, but I’m used to it by now. I went to go read the Bible. My mother told me that she named me after Jesus’s mother, Mary, in the Bible. My brothers did not come back that night.
Has the war begun?
