We're officially allied to the French! The French Alliance has been signed on February 6th and they will help us with defense should the redcoats attack. Neither of us will make peace until us colonists are independent. Let freedom ring throughout the colonies. Slowly we are making our way back into things.
We should be glad of this alliance too, as the minutemen troops at Valley Forge had been camping there for an incredibly harsh winter in Pennsylvania. Low morale is never good for war, and I am sure that these soldiers will now be able to get supplies that they are in need of.I have not heard from my husband, and I doubt that I will, at least not until the end of this war. I do not know what has become of him. I hope for the best, and I keep John and Jane safe near me.
