January 10th 1778
I never knew being a man was so hard. I live in fear each day that I will be discovered. I'm kept awake at night from the bitter cold. Everyday we cut down trees to build houses. Sometimes I wonder if they ever will be finished. I miss my family. I feel bad because I left without a word. They must think that I'm dead.
