Dear Friend,
This is torture here! I am with some people that I don’t even know. This is surprising me and I never thought I would say this again but I really wish I was with my family. This slave auction has been going on for awhile but so far we haven’t really seen anything that would make me want to say anything about how this is. I am wondering if people just don’t want to say anything about how bad it is because they don’t want to scare any of us children in here but I just want them to say something about how this is because I am getting a little worried about it. I haven’t seen Darryl yet and some of the people that lived in the barns with us aren’t even talking to me because apparently they don’t want to get in trouble with Mr. and Mrs.Amison but I really don’t care because no matter what I am going to try and escape and Amy said she would stick with me through everything. I am starting to think that Amy is more of a family to me than any of my other family or friends that I have lived with for awhile is. We are getting less time to do anything without someone hanging over our shoulders so that means I will have less time now to write. This is tarring me apart to think that I won’t be able to write but I will try whenever I can. I have to go because someone is coming. I promise to write whenever possible.
Your Friend,
Anna
