We have been busy with our spring planting. Each day we work 12 hours or at least until dark. We do not take breaks for anything except for meals. We have been planting corn, barley, and beans. It is hard work and my whole body is sore. I have blisters on my hands. So far we have planted 25 acres of food and aim to get 5 more. While we were in the field we saw indians and everybody dove for cover. We did not get attacked though.

We decided we must make friends with the Indians. We planned to do this by negotiating a treaty with them. The Indians did not like our gifts and gave us nothing. Not one of us spoke their language so we used Squanto as a translator. We stayed with them for two days and were able to make enemies with them. We fear from an attack from the Indians and bury our dead at night.
During our voyage across the atlantic we ate pork, cheese, oatmeal, and a biscuit called hard tack . In the New World the Indians showed us other foods such as game, corn, and berries. We did not like these foods because of their lack of english customs. The lack of food caused a lot of starvation. So far eighteen colonists have died from starvation and disease. The saddest death was the death of Brandon King because he was a major person in forming our colony.
