I was on my way looking to deliver a concealed letter from Mr. Heron, a mysterious man who works for the British ,and Americans. I saw Betsy and we talked for a bit. I said some stuff by accident, and she saw the letter, took the letters, and threw them after she read them. It said that if it was delivered I could be trusted but I am not, I guess.

Bye-Bye my Life.

Dear General Putnam
Sam and I were just talking when we heard some noise in the barn. Sam and I went out to look for whoever made the noise. Whilst looking for the cattle, I found that 3 cows were dead, and four ran away. The cattle thieves beat up Sam and took him to you.

I have written this to you,to tell you about my life in Redding, Conneticut. My life is coming to an end, and this may be my last message.No...This is not a message, It's an adventure of my life. Hopefully your life is as adventurous as mine but not as many casualties in your time, or your family, due to war, or anything else. Be as strong as you can be and live a long prosperous life. For this may be my last message to
you, I bid you farewell my close friend.
