Dear Amélie and Jean Frédéric,
How are you keeping up North?? I have some très bonne news for you. The British have finally gotten rid of that ridiculous Stamp Act! We 13 Colonists are very happy with this news. This afternoon, we got a letter from our old neighbours, remember the Moreau’s? Elyse and Martin? They are colonists who moved to Boston, and did something quite similar to what my Marc-André and our colonists have done. Remember the boycott?? Well a tax on imported tea caused the Colonists there to jump on the boat and dump out all the tea into the water! I am mad, but glad to know that the British aren’t just picking on us. I believe that these British are treating us unfairly. We should get to choose our own government to pay taxes to!!!
With love and affection,
Hélène, Marc-André
The British are picking on the French because they won the War and then have New France all to themselves. Plus they have the loyalists on their side, and you guys have the patriots, who are shoving the loyalists out of their houses.
