Dear Jonathan,
How are you over there in Italy? How is our family? How is Brother John? Is he feeling better from his fall he had last I saw him. There are so many questions that I would like to ask you, but since we are so far way I can’t. I wish I was by your side to be able to hear your soft calming voice in my ear. I promised Alexander I would stay by his side at all times no matter what. I stick with my word, but this time leaving the place I most know, I almost didn’t. I know it was a risk I was going to have to take, and ended up to be a successful one. I am glad everything worked out well.
Jonathan, I am sending you this card with lots of love to let you know how my life is going on my journey to the new world. I finally reached land after days of being sea sick and depressed, but it is nothing like I expected it to be like. The land I’m living on is called Jamestown. There is a type of organization called the House of Burgesses which is the 1st example of a representative government. Don’t worry Jonathan, a government is not a bad thing. It is actually a good thing in some cases, it is imperative that their rules and laws are obeyed. Some people guile others into believing certain things that aren’t necessarily true.
Jamestown is the 1st settlement in America, the land I’m currently writing you this letter from. The colonists wanted riches. A man by the name of John Smith made a statement that evoked a spontaneous reaction, which impacted many people in Jamestown. His statement said...“He who doesn’t work, doesn’t eat.” This means that I’m working as well. I’m not very used to working and don’t really know how to, but I surmise that that is the reason why John Smith said that. I work at a tobacco cash crop everyday for more than twelve hours, which is very excruciating for me. The disposition of the tobacco plants are in such an organized way that it looks very neat. It is an enormous piece of land about fifty seven acres planted full of tobacco.
It was a pleasure writing to you Jonathan. I miss you very much. If I don’t ever see you again because something happened to me I want you, Brother John, and mama and papa to know I love you all.
Sincerely,
