Dear Ruth,
I am in Jamestown Colony and it is beautiful. My house is nice, it is also really big. The house fits Me and Edward, Rachel has her own room and there are three rooms for children. There is a kitchen garden, and the stove. There is a whole other room for the meals and there are Children down the lane that Rachel can play with.
Pricilla Annabelle Harris is now born but has small pox. There has been a outbreak of smallpox in the village and she was born she caught it. I am glad to know that your family is doing better with sickness and regular family life. Your descriptions of sicknesses were fairly better than they probably were as so is mine of Pricilla.
I do not want you to think I named the baby because of what happened to your mother and knew you would want me to. I miss your mother as much as you do and I was glad to help out with your family. I see Karen has now taken my place. She seems like a nice women, and in your letters it seems like you appreciate her as well.
It was my pleasure for praying with you, now will you pray with me for Pricilla? Samantha and Patience are both beautiful and kind. There are some girls here that you would like, they are your age and their names are Remember Cooke and Emily Tanner.
From the Jamestown Colony,
-Sarah, Edward, Rachel, and Pricilla Harris

Dear Ruth,
As you said in you first letter, thank you for praying with me. Pricilla is much better. I do not think that you got my first letter yet but Pricilla recovered from small pox, The Harris family seems to be lucky. There are lots of things that I have noticed in Jamestown that are different than Plymouth. The governor here is Francis Wyatt. He does not appreciate Edward very much and can't wait for us to come back to Plymouth. It is much more different here than England, I see what you mean about cooking here, you were right it is much harder living. Rachel is two years old and can walk by herself. Oh yes, thank you for letting me use your carriage.
I am sad that I left Plymouth too. It was very nice there. I think Jamestown is different than how I dreamed of. The people in Plymouth were friendlier, however down here it's just working and business. Maybe your family will come down here and stay sometime I would like to meet Karen. I would like it if you called her Karen in your letters otherwise I would get confused.
Thank you for letting me write again, I have to make dinner and have Pricilla and Rachel tae their naps. I miss you as well.

A: Welcome back to Colonial House! Click on the green box to take the quiz to find out if you'd have survived in the colony. How did you do? A:
Your life is Comfortably Contemporary.
Your habits, values, and lifestyle are indicative of the modern society in which you live. We hope you'll explore colonial life by frequenting this site, watching the TV series, and reading books. But don't try this yourself.
1. How do you like to spend your free time?You Answered: Reading a bookFact: With few books and no newspapers or theater, colonists relied on communal events and ceremonies for an escape from the routines of agricultural, pre-industrial life. Idle behavior was considered inappropriate, so any free time was put to good use.
2. How would you describe your clothing preferences?You Answered: I like ready-to-wear styles, with new outfits each seasonFact: For most of the 17th century, few homes had a spinning wheel to make thread or a loom to convert it to cloth. Since cloth was imported and expensive to buy, clothing had to be durable enough to pass along to the generation coming up. The fashion for underwear does not seem to appear until the end of the 17th century and possibly even later for women; even then, it passed by many people. The essential item of underwear in this period was a loose linen shift worn next to the skin called a "smock" for women or a "shirt" for men.
3. Which of the following would you most like to eat for dinner?You Answered: SeafoodFact: Early settlers ate what they brought with them from the Old World -- salted meats and fish, grains, and few other supplies. Occasionally, imported foods like sugar and spices could be obtained from passing ships, but mostly the colonists had to produce their own foods -- grow crops, fish and gather shellfish and berries, and hunt. Bread, meat, and beer were considered the best foods; the settlers generally disliked and distrusted vegetables and drinking both milk and water.
4. To quench my thirst, I prefer:You Answered: a glass of milkFact: Everyone consumed alcohol, including children, women, and ministers. English people on both sides of the Atlantic thought alcohol to be helpful in warding off disease, and many colonists harbored doubts about the safety of drinking water; water mixed with a little alcohol was considered much safer than ordinary water. The colonists generally disliked drinking milk, and they didn't drink juice -- unless, of course, it had been fermented into alcohol!
5. Rank the importance of the following hygienic customs:You Answered: Showering daily: Not important, Brushing my teeth: Important, Shampooing/washing my hair: Not important, Wearing deodorant: Not importantFact: The English were not in the habit of bathing, washing their hair, or brushing their teeth. They considered it unnecessary, and possibly even unhealthy and dangerous to do so -- especially in the cold winter months! They washed their visible parts -- faces, arms, and hands -- with water or "dry-washed" by simply rubbing with a cloth. Instead of washing their hair they might apply Fuller's Earth, a fine clay that was good for absorbing grease.
6. How big a role does religion play in your life? You Answered: Religion does not play a role in my life. I am an atheist.Fact: Religion was a fundamental part of life in this time period and was basically how people interpreted their world. Churchgoing was mandated by law but was more than an obligation -- the Church and worship were at the center of civic and social life.
7. What are your feelings about respecting authority?You Answered: I respect authority only if the authorities have earned my respect.Fact: Seventeenth-century society was ordered on hierarchy, from the king and the nobility down to the vagabonds, beggars, and the dregs of society. Everyone had a rank, and the idea that everyone was created equal wouldn't have made sense back then.
8. How would you assess your feelings about spending time inside versus embracing the Great Outdoors?You Answered: I love being outside -- except when it's too hot, cold, or wet.Fact: The colonists did not idealize Mother Nature. To them, she was often the antagonist, for settler life meant getting plenty of fresh air and sunlight as a result of spending long days at work in the fields. Further, pioneer conditions meant that newcomers had to settle for rudimentary and temporary shelter. Without the tools and technology to take advantage of the abundance of lumber in the New World, settlers knew it would take months or years before they could build substantial houses. Early on they might have copied the homes of the Indians or lived in dug-out caves until they built what the English called "cottages" -- small, one-story, one-room buildings that to us might seem little more than wattle and daub huts.B: Click and follow link to Voice Long Unheard- Choose a theme and follow link and watch video.
