Dear Aunt Sarah,
Again I would like to start with answering your questions. Yes I have been learning about the Gospel especially the songs on the day of the Sabbath we sang the songs lined out. Well the names of the children are, Myles, Edward, Mary, Elizabeth, Anna, Jacob, Katherine, and me of course. Mother is pregnant with another baby hoping to name it Samuel or Amy. Thank you for naming the baby after me. I told Myles to tell everyone a dinner tonight. For Dinner we had, Corn, bean, a biscuit, Hasty Pudding and Nocake. Nocake is made with Indian mortar which makes cornmeal.
Meals here are not like meals in England. We have to eat with treen. And mother gets flip only on Friday, Fish day. We also have to stand below the salt and mother and father stand above the salt. We have the Iron lug pole over our fire to hang the kettle. Mother has taught me to cook and we have to cook on the hearth, everything we cook we do on the Hearth. We get our cooking supplies from the kitchen garden and we only get Apples and peaches once a month. When we have game we go down to the smokehouse. We have to roast the game from the smoke house on the spit. We have a cone of sugar, so we use a knife to scrape it off. It is hard cooking in Colonial America.
I would much rather learn to cook in England, I bet it's easier. The most pleasant meal that we made was Johnny cake. It is made with corn flour and bread cooked hard. Myles taught me and Katherine who is my age now how to get Maple Sugar from the trees. Myles also taught me and Katherine to carve pumpkins.
I hope you get better Aunt Sarah, Can you tell me how it was when you learned to cook in England. Thank you for sending me the fabric for the dress.
Your niece, Ruth Alden

Dear Aunt Sarah,
I think you will be sad to know that when Samuel Alden came into the world God had to say goodbye to another person as he said hello to Samuel. That person was Percilla Alden, my mother. Father said he will remarry another person as soon as possible but I do not want that to happen. Father said your father remarried another women so I am writing to you because I know you know what is like. Father said Mother's body could not deal with another baby, so that's why she is away. I know that she is watching our family and Satan will not get us now because she is watching us.
I hope that anything that I cooked sent mother away. Father said that my Hasty pudding that I made last week could have been better, but I didn't know it was that bad. New settlers here say that what happened to mother was not that bad compared to the famine happening in England but I am still sad.
We have an indentured Servant in the house, her name is Rebecca Logan. I think she is nice even thought that she is a servant. She sleeps in the room with Katherine, Anna, Mary, Elizabeth, and Samuel. Of all the young woman in our colony, I think Father should marry Karen Carter or Hope Hopkins, both Anglican.
I hope you understand what our family is going through. Are you in the Quebec colony yet? If you are can you bring our family some furs? Thank you
- Ruth Alden

Sophie's blog: On Last Monday I got my new skates at the ice house. They are the same kind of skates but they got sharpened by different people. Last time these guys sharpened my skates I had a bad experience. I first tried my skates out and I liked them, i could even do an axel with them. I wore them on Thursday and I did 2 doubles! On Saturday I wore them and got blisters but that's ok everyone does with new skates. On Sunday Night I went on my Left outside edge and fell down. I did a more last night and started to realize something was wrong. I skated at noon today and I went on my left outside edge and fell down again. I did some spins and when I did my camel I fell right down on my stomach. It hurt! Linda put my program on and I fell on my stomach in my axel. I did my program again and in the middle of it when I went in my flying camel, I flew and landed right on my stomach and sprained my hand a little bit. I don't think I want the ice house to sharpen my blades again!
