My Love Martha

August 2, 1660

Dear Martha,

            Love, I’ve had an avid desire to be able to communicate with you. I have worked day and night to be able to send you this letter oversea. It has been excruciating to wake up in the morning and not be next to you. I have missed to look into your gorgeous cocoa brown eyes.  I find it despicable that they didn’t let you come here since the inauguration of the camp. However, I will put all of this aside because I want to inform you about what is happening here.

The settlement of Jamestown has been very turbulent for a lot of time because the nobles still rebuff the idea of working. I send you this letter for you to know how things are being modified in the settlement. Things here are not as in England because of the hideous problems we have faced. The imperative need of work in the field made the settlement leader John Smith decide that everybody will work if they wanted to eat.

            We didn’t only survive because of the work of everybody but because of the aid of the Indians. Tanks of Smith’s guile of giving dumb gift we got a lot of assistance from the Indians. He tricked theses Indians to help us and them we made them our slaves and take there land. Thanks to the settler’s disposition to learn, they learned from the Indians how to hunt and plant in this new land. We came for treasures such as gold and silver but we found a new way of life and in a spontaneous turn our treasure became tobacco. Tobacco from Jamestown is being shipped to England all the time. I hope that you join me in my success and come to join me at the settlement. If we have children here, I am sure we will ensure generations of riches to the family.

Love, from your loving husband,

Theodor
