My Dearest Father,

Dear daddy, mum has already gone to bed, but she gave me permission to write thou . I am sad , tis my birthday tomorrow, and thou will not be present. Daddy you are missed dearly, the residence is quiet without thou. I wish thou the best and may God be on thou side. Daddy my studies are bland and hard without thou being present. And Jacky and Eleanor are doing well. I am lonely without Pasty here, oh I do miss her dearly. Daddy, how is the war going. Are thou doing well. I wish thee luck in all thou battles. And let thou stay safe and return home soon, I rest soon if I wish to be up at the break of dawn to deliver this morrow. Remember I wish thou luck and I miss thou.

Love,

Elizabeth Charity Washington,

Your little Liza

I pulled on my petticoat and tiptoed to Jacky's room. "Jacky", I whispered opening up the door slightly "Ya Liza" he whispered sitting up "Im going to deliver the letter I'll be back by morning at latest tell mum so she won't worry." "Sure , but Liza wait" Jacky said getting up "take this," he said handing me a pouch. "What is this" I asked. "There have been redcoats patrolling recently," "If they find you just say you are delivering a letter and offer them food and water and necessities in this" "Ok thanks," I replied hugging him then scurrying out "Im taking Moon." I whispered and closed the door.

---------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey girl" I said tacking up Moon and hopping with my letter in my pocket and my pouch around me. As I mount her I hear the faint marching of the troops in the distance. I lead Moon out of the stable and into the woods. I slowly bring her to the trot then a canter glancing at the dark surrounding and my eyes finally adjusting to the dark. It was frigid outside, it being December. It then occurred to me today tis my birthday. I am 16 now, wow.

---------------------------------------------------------------

The sound of other hooves hitting the frozen ground wakes me from my daze. I slow down to a walk and glance around me to see several men about my age, then it hits me, redcoats I quickly halt and let them catch up with me.One of them pulls up next to me "pray pardon me sir " I say quickly tapping my hand on my thigh nervously. "Calm down ." He says looking into my eyes with his beautiful brown eyes, wait what am I saying. "No need to worry we just are here to find out what a lady like you is doing out this early," "We did not suspect anything but our commander heard you coming and feared a spy." another soldier said. "Oh I am sorry, I was just delivering a letter, to my-my um my fat-ther." I said looking down "Hey listen," the one next to me said pulling my chin up "why are you so worried, who is your father." I sigh "General, General George Washington, Chief patriot commander." I say quickly look down he turns to the other guys "You can go, say I am escorting this lady to see, if I can get anything out of her." He says and they nod and turn around. "I am so sorry but I have no information on him any way." I say and a stray tear slides down my face."Hey don't worry," he says brushing away my tear "You really thought I thought you were a spy, I just wanted to get the other guys off of your case. "I look up and smile. "So are we going to go, I have a letter to deliver." "Sure lets go" he replied and we take off into a canter.

---------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey can you hold my horse when I go find an officer?" I asked Jace that was his name. "Of course Beth." he says and I dismount giving. I scurry across the street into the alehouse to look for any soldiers. "JAMES!" I shout when I see my best friend. "Hey, lizzy how are you doing." "Good , I have a letter, for my father." "Oh I was just heading back, I'll take it to him." "Ok I have to go now thanks I say kissing him on the cheek and rushing out.

---------------------------------------------------------------

"So, how about the rest of your family?" Jace asks me."Oh well tis me, Mum, Jacky,pas-, never mind." I say a tear slipping down my face."Hey what's wrong you don't have to tell me though." he says stopping our horses. "Pasty, she was my best friend she is , well was 4 years older then me she died, 3 years ago." "Oh my word , I am so sorry" "Its ok" "Im fine that was 3 years ago." I say and we go back up to a canter. "WATCH OUT" I scream as a snake goes across our path and into the bushes but I was to late Jace was on the ground and his horse was cantering off. "OH gosh are you okay say jumping off of moon and tying her quickly to a plant. I kneel down to examine him and notice that he landed on a rock and he was bleeding "Okay this may hurt but just trust me" I say as I pull his leg out from under him. He grimaces but then relaxes. I pull out the bandages from my pouch and clean out his wound with the water and a rag that was in my pouch. As I start bandaging up I hear hooves coming towards us, I look up and realize it is Jacky. "Jacky?"" What are you doing here?" "Liza, you said you would get back by morning, I thought something had happened to you!" he said angrily "Im sorry I just-" "Its my fault" Jace cut me off "Oh and why is that." Jacky said rudely "John you don't have to be so disrespectful." "Im sorry sir my commander sent me and then I just wanted to make sure she was safe and then I got hurt." "Ok" He said with a sigh. "Jace you can come with me to your camp." "Ok" he said hobbling up.

---------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh and here." I said getting off and handing him the pouch. "good day sir" I said curtsying "Thanks you." he replied bowing to me "I hope to see you around." he says with a smile and I get back onto moon and ride back

with Jacky "Happy Birthday Beth!" he shouts as we ride off
