Dear Sam,

Sam, you need to come home. The stress from the war and everything built around it is already unbarable. You being gone makes it

worse, not to mension your at war with the British. Not only do I have to deal with this pain, you brother has to bare it with me.

Not only do we miss you but work at the tavern has been rough without you in replace for Father. And I bet your brother needs your

help with the everyday chores. We understand how you wan't to stand up for our freedom, our rights, our country, but war isn't the

answer to all our peoples troubles. Dying for your country still won't make anything better. More deaths won't make any part of this better.

We understand how this means to you but we think things have gone to far. Your family neededs you and most of the time family is

more important than all of this war business.

You do have a choice to make. Your acting like coming home is not an option, in fact it is. You war enlistment is up in 2 months and

you can home with us again. If you renlist in the war again for another term all of our problems will start over again. We will have to deal

with everything that happens all over again. The option is there and we need you here.

As I briefly mentioned earlier work at the tavern isn't doing as good. It is more work than ever without Father here with his support.

You brother Tim has to help a lot too. We need you back here to replace the hefty work that your Father used to have done when he

helped run the tavern. Things will never be the same here at the tavern until you come home and get our family business back on track

running smooth again. Its also harder to get things done while your gone. The thought of you at war sickens me.
