Dale Josephson Earth 10/16/08 **__Sam Letter__** Dear Mother, I always will love you but I believe we need a free country and if we get a free country I will have more family time with you and Tim. I’m sorry that Father died and people blame the Rebels for that but the truth is the British put him on a ship and he died of cholera. We as a country say fight for our right to be free and later family comes first. Just picture a country ruled by some king 3,000 miles away and after everyone says to be loyal to the king what happens when the taxes go up and we go bankrupt. I miss you but you need to know that I have to do this and I promise you the first time I get a chance I will come home or if you are ill and Tim needs someone to take care of him I will come. War is like a painting if you don’t finish it, it looks like a mess and that will happen if we don’t beat the British. If we win Mother we will have more money than you ever could imagine because all the taxes will disappear and since you charge for containers they will give you so many shillings it will almost be like a steal. We will have time for church so you, Tim, and I don’t sin anymore like Father would want us to do. Mother you have to understand Tim is a young man I think he is capable of taking care of him self he has delivered a letter all the way to Fairfield. Well he almost did but you know what I mean he went on a long trip but he didn’t give the man the letter. Tim is a bright, mature young man if he can outwit some cowboys I think he know how to make the right decision. Mother I promise you that I will return and pride on my shoulders and freedom beside me because no matter what we will win this war. This is my time if I die I will tell you that I love you more than anything in the world but I have to do this we deserve our country and it’s time that we start fighting for it.
