September 1, 1764Dearest Sister,I hope that life continues to be pleasant and quiet for you and
Mother in Boston. It is hard to believe it has been nearly a year since they signed the Treaty of ____ Bostonand the fighting _______ intensified. I am making my way across western Pennsylvania now and will soon cross the Appalachian Mountains to seek my fortunes in the unsettled land there. There are horrible stories of men returning home injured from _____ attacks in that area, but I am confident I will subdue them with the gun father gave me before he passed and the prayers of you and our good mother. I will write again as soon as I am able. Pray for me, Rebecca.
Yours always,
