Valley Forge

Dear, Father

I'm in Valley Forge. It is cold it is in the 20s & 30s out. They was 13 days of rain and snow during first six weeks. We live in 16x14 foot log hut share it whit 12 men. It was smoke in it. The floor is dirt and some sort of cloth covering for the door. The money was worthless to people. We did not have much food. We eat fire cake was simply a flour and water batter fris on a griddle. They was not much clothes to wear.

I do not like to run. I think Washington was a chicken by run. Washington have Steuben drill the men to make tham beeter fiter. He persaude the men to stay to fiter whit him.

The revolution is good and bad. It good becase the are becoming a independant county. It is bad of the people who are dieing. It is long time of people who fiter for they county.
