Colonial Letter 2 Topic: Family Roles

Dearest Aunt Sarah,

Today was a very emotional day for our family. Little Timothy Alden passed away this morning we all filled with tears as the winds of angels carried Timothy away to heaven. I am writing to thee hoping you will understand. Again I wish you are at good health. After the dreadful news of this morning I have more pleasant news. Mother has allowed me to go to school to learn my manners and how to literate. I wish I could show thee my first sampler. It is of our house and our family. I am very proud of myself.

Our population of our colony has doubled in the last two weeks. I got in trouble last week for being Idle. Father has told me you used to be very idle when you were little, I don't believe that.

Father and Mother have frightened me, they're calling each other "Goodwife and Goodman" I hope they are not mad at each other.

Father has joined a group that does not want to be subject to the king of England! They are trying to find away to be their own country. I think that would be nice.

Anyway I still am at health so is my family, I bless god almighty.

Love your niece,

Ruth Alden
