Dear sister in law Martha, We have just made friends with this native. we have also lost 13 people with sickness. The next time this native came he had brought his master. The master made an treaty with us. The new rules are that if a native attacks an pillgram they will be handed over to the pilgrims for punishment. We are also trading for beaver skin we got two barles of beaver skin. Love Thomas Jakson

we are in Holland and we are not happy it is cold and we need food. Most of are crops did not grow. We also have no shelter, and we are getting attacked often. We also can not get good jobs. most of us are not ready for winter. Some of us have died even before winter is here because we have no food. My child John is sick and he needs medical trement. Help us. We can not tret john because all we packed was food and water. Love, Thomas Jackson. |
