Dear Amélie and Jean Frédéric,
I hope that you both have found peace and happiness up in the North Valley. Marc-André and I miss you dearly but are glad you no longer are under such strict and cruel British rulings. I apologize for not writing sooner but Marc and I have not found the money. Ah excusez-moi.... j'ai oublié! You see, the British people have created a new tax that is called The Stamp Act. This tax is so how do I say this.... absurdité! These idiot British are making us French pay for every piece of printed-paper we use. Apparently, this extra tax would be used to pay the cost of defending us 13 Colonies from the British. How ridicule!! Marc-André says: “They are pushing their limits! They are going to need that money to defend all of the angry colonists at their doorsteps tomorrow!!” He also sends his love. Marc- André and other colonists have organized a boycott. From now on, we 13 Colonists resolve to never, ever buy any goods or services from these British.
We will write soon. With love, your dearest relatives,
Hélène and Marc-André Lachapelle
