     John... Living with your family is great and all, but I miss you. I got a letter about you being captured by British troops. I really wish I could help you... Please get out safely...
--------------------------------
     It's been a month or so and I still haven't heard anything... I really miss you John. I wasn't planning on writing this, but when you come back, I kind of want to get married.
--------------------------------
     It's been a couple more months and I finally heard you made it out safe! Don't scare me like that again. Please come back soon. I think your parents illegitimately adopted me?
--------------------------------
     I heard you finally get to follow your dream of starting an all black battalion! It may take a couple years, but I know you can do it!
