Dearest, Mother
I have been traveling for a long time and now am rested in
Boston. Ooh howI remember how you loved the cobblestones streets of
Boston but now you are so far away. I have really been occupied with my
job .I might be visiting you in the summer I. went down to the bay
where I was walking taking my time admiring the seagulls in the air
when all of a sudden this beautiful girl dropped her handkerchief and I
looked into her eyes and it was love at first sight. We went down to
the
bay and had a picnic. Mother I don’t know from all of my travels I
don't think that I can be in a relationship right now.
our dearest friend Samuel adams he has formed a group called the
Sons of liberty this group will boycott from all of the British goods
especially tea mother because you .Because parliament taxed them
without
representation and the whole of Boston really wants a say in whether
they know that tea makes the most money out of all of the good set
taxed o rnot .
I went down to the bay where I was walking taking my time admiring the
seagulls in the air ,
Well mother other than all of my troubles I am doing really well,
I have a good job good place to live. I have another question
mother , did this news already come your way?
From your dearest son,
John white
Dear,mother
I have been traveling for five horrible deadly months. Mother you
know that I travel because Boston need their shoes and I am the
one to do that . I get free room and board. And now I am resting in
Boston and it is really cold and it is raining really hard I am
freezing...I have met this girl her name is amy wells, we have
known each otherfor a couple of weeks and i have been thinkin...should
I say I love he or should I leave stuff as is and I really
like her allot but in all of my travels I could not stay in one
place. For me mother that is really a big of a commitment Because the
colonies really want to have something to wear on their feet and im the
one to do that. But it is really hard . So mother that is my life .
Mother I have really big news Samuel our friend has been next to my
shop that I had just opened. Well he was by my shop when he came for
his shoe when he said something about the british rules and then
something it being done. I didn’t know what it was but it had to be
something big about it the british tea and because of the taxes.
yesterday at the meeting it was clear that the people did not care if
they were being taxed but the fact that they were taxes without
representation that was the thing that got all of the people mad.
though i know that most of boston was not rich ...but mother the tax
was so small. And these people love their tea so much that they re
willing to give it up and i am with them on that mother i am with
them with my heart and soul. Mother i feel bad that the whole of boston
is a massacre. I was walking down by were parliament was and then there
was allot of people outside of the meeting house. The little children
and the adults had signs saying we don't want taxation without
representation they were always repeating it.I pushed through the
massive crowd just to hear what they were saying .it was like
hundreds upon hundreds of people there. And i asked one of my friends ,
what was going on i could not hear him well but he said he is
protesting he is protesting.So these people were in there for about
three hours .Samuel was one the people that was saying taxation without
representation. They would not listen to him but he did not give up h
kept going and he was not giving up on what he believes in and that is
what i admire him for. Mother please right
back.
Sincerely , John White
Dearest,mother
I have been waiting on you to return my letters
please mother i don't know what is going on up there in Britain hope
everything is well...mother I had sent those shoes to you did you get
them well...on the other hand...Samuel adams was in the old south
meeting house when he said she new that the tea was going to be dumped
into the bay That really got allot of people talking and allot of
things got shaken up in boston mother good gracious that you weren't
here.
Samuel adams is the best did this for the people and this makes me feel
really god t he did all of this for the colonies .Mother I am proud to
say that i have made up my mind to be a patriot good wishe
