The Red Coats of 1774

1774, June 2.

Dear Philip,

I hope this letter finds you in a time of prosperity. The men talk a lot about a War now. Gorge should not have taxed us for tea though,I wish that we would have just been careful. I sense some things are not right. Anyway I am turning 36 on the 3 of August so I have written my death will in the quiet of my home. If I die before Rosemary comes home, take care of her. I hope this finds you in good health.

Sincerely,

Arthur

ILL

How is he and when is Rosemary coming back? Tomas and Bea Littles are at their uncle's house. They are brother and sister,Tomas 13 and Bea 11. They came over to 667 Oke avenue when they heard their uncle Arthur was sick. His wife Rosemary was gone for quite awhile in New Jersey negotiating equity with the tax.Well The tax was all anyone talked about these days no matter young nor old, Alive or dead children and men would talk about it.Arthur was now 36,and that is the age you shall start dying. If you get sick none else can visit you so if you die it will be a lonely death, a mysterious death. That means the body will start rotting because no one would have to go in the room and become exposed to the sickness. The Littles children knew that if Rosemary or Mrs.Arthur C. Ellington{that being her married name} did not come to her master's house in time to witness the dead body of her husband.

BEA

Bea is a smart little girl inside but on the outside she is, well normal. 99% out of 100 girls do not get educated and don't care all they want is to get married and clean,cook and be extravagant. Bea wore a dress half as decent as her mother with an orange bonnet,always orange, never pink or blue or any other color. Orange. Bea's mother wore a 3 foot wide dress with a very extravagant bonnet. Bea has 3 brothers and 2 sisters and a mother and father.Her father was as strange as a rabbit in the middle of a stampede.One thing about him that made him "normal"was the way he treated Clair and Emily.The twins had a triplet named Ralph who was a smart and kind hearted little boy.But his father felt differently.The triplets where only 5 years old but their father acted as if they were 10.He commanded Clair and Emily to wash 3 floors,dust 6 pieces of furniture and wash all the men's feet who enter the house. Ralph who insisted on helping learned to fight and was known as a boy when the other triplets where still known as "little girl brats''

ROSEMARY

Rosemary Clair Bush was a great little girl. She cleaned and even learned to read from her father unfortunately he died when she was 9.The rest of her life she was raised by her Uncle. Her mother died when Rosemary was 1. She died because she was sick and the 1 year of Rosemary's life was in her mothers room because she was exposed to the sickness.When her father died she was devastated because she was so close to him.Her uncle was not pleased though and whipped her when he was not satisfied with her work.{Come on man cut the women some slack} Eventually her uncle realized that he had done wrong and decided to do better. Rosemary accepted the apology but refused to live the rest of her life being bossed around. So when Mrs.Arthur C. Ellington heard her master,as they say was sick, decided to go back to Massachusetts and care for Arthur.

Dear Arthur,

I am coming home at the moment from New Jersey. I will get all I can on the way to help you. Just stay Alive! I can't lose you too. Breath! I am so sorry I left, it was for the taxes I proposed your Idea {Men we should claim our freedom to set us free no taxation without representation. The men told me my masters sent me but I told them the truth.} Anyhow We sent a letter to George.Arthur just do as I say, stay in bed, eat, and rest.Rest a lot! I will see you later.

Sincerely,

Mrs.Arthur C. Ellington

Royalty is kind to it's people unlike you!We demand a revolution freedom from a monarchy.No taxation without Representation!If you are not willing to be a good leader we will do very unpleasant stuff {and we have all ready tortured your "Messengers and tax collectors"so I would be careful} this is a demand for freedom. If you want to get deep we can get deeper.Hope you are doing well.

Ta,ta,

U.S citizens who want freedom.
