Today marks the day the United States won our independence from Great Britain, i've been learnin about that in school. It happened with the revolutionary war and after many long battles and many lives lost we finally got them brits to surrender and send them back home! I hope this war dont turn out like the revolutionary war, I dont wanna loose my brothers they mean too much too me! I wish I could do more, I wanna go and help them, fight the north, give them a piece of my mind! I told momma that and she looked at me with a funny face, she said Beth Anne dont be thinkin like that, they dont let young ladies into them battles you wont have luck. The boys will be just fine, you can count on them cant ya? I suppose she's write.
Poppa is back up to health, hes been trying to fix the tobacco fields and get ready to turn the soil so the soil is ready in the spring. Its been hard with out them slaves in the back helpin us, we still have some but we will hopefully get them back when this war is finally over. To be honest I dont even think its even started! Who knows why they are keepin the boys for so long, im sure theyre sick of being in that camp! I sure do miss them! Owen's birthday is tomorrow, why does he have to be gone? This is my first year I havent been with them for their birthdays. This house sure is empty, but things are gettin a little better.
