My Dearest John,
I hope this letter finds you in good health my love. Things in new york have progressed more positively, I do hope you right me back soon I've decided to start to start a garden on the land I hope you wont mind. I've heard news that Eliza and Alexander will marry soon as he returns from war, they have invited us to come and see the reception, Peggy urged me to tell you she thanks you highly for serving in the war, she says that she misses you. john darling I worry for what is to come the red coats raided the city last week, they've said they will imprison anyone who rebels against them. this frightens me john, please be safe in new jersey Tell Alexander i give my congratulations to him and Eliza and I hope he satisfies her well. Return home soon my dearest john.

Laurens Once the wax had finished drying Astoria got up from the desk in Johns study and set the quill aside and headed out to the next mail horse she knew that it would take almost a week for her to get a reply but she was patient as always. She handed the letter to the mail boy and watched as he rode off towards Georgia and let out a soft sigh. "return home soon my dearest." she spoke to herself and made her way back to her home to tend to the new garden she had started.
