December 15, 1692 Dear Albert, I hope that when you receive this letter you are in good spirits. I am writing you because I don’t know what to do. I have lied! I accused other women of being witches because I wanted to be part of a group. I can’t believe I did that. I felt bad right after doing so but I could not take it back. I have told one of my closes friends of my lies and I am afraid that she will report me. Worst of all I believe that the ministers and judges now believe that I am a witch myself. This is simply not true! I am afraid of what they will do to me. I have seen other women, girls, men and children hanged. I have also witness people being burned at the stake. I am terrified. If only I hadn’t lie. I will surely go to hell if I am put to death. I know that you are currently running from the Nazi’s you are not alone. I myself am trying my best not to be executed. Albert what should I do? I am terribly afraid. At first I faked having fits and threw myself on the floor. The other girls and I laughed and we thought it was fun. Now things are different I don’t want to lie anymore. I have recently been accused and I no longer think that it is funny. I don’t want to die this isn’t a game. I thought lying about Bridget Bishop would save me. It has so far but I feel so guilty. I was released being that I myself was a victim of witchcraft. I never signed the devils book but I lied not to be thrown in jail with the others. Oh Albert! I am so scared and afraid I do not want to die and I am sick of all of the lying. I am sorry to trouble you. I know that you are waiting for your younger brothers to arrive in France. I pray they get there safe. If you can please write me back as soon as possible. I trust that you will know what to do. Best Regards, Sarah Churchill
