Answer 1

Answer:

Dear Mo, March 30, 1692

I have moved to the wonderful colonie of Pennsylvania. I am a farmer here with a wife and 5 children. We do the farm chores which include cooking, cleaning, caring for the animals, caring for ourselves, building and planting and harvesting crops. When I moved here my neighbors organized a working bee to get my farmed built. At the end, we all got drunk and had fun. That is also where I met my wife. Sadly our eldest son, John, died of smallpox, so we had to make a plot for him. That really brought are family together. The wonderful thing about living in Pennsylvania is that we all care for each other which is how I got my barn. Also, our children get a good education which I heard was not that prevalent here in the colonies. Thankfully their is no slavery here because we believe that it is a sin. I would like to know that the English Bill of rights actually gives us rights and what parliament is doing right now, because you somehow were elected to the Commons.
