Franklin's Letter by Cecilia

Dear Thomas,

I have been sent to England as a representative of the American Assembly in order to defend the inner issues of Pennsylvania.
As you may know, French forces were moving forward in our region and those days were crucial to get our freedom. At that moment, Edward Braddock, a British commander, was in the States to capture Fort Duquesne, a French fortification in western Pennsylvania. But the problem was that Braddock was given no horses or wagons, so I thought that if I helped him, he could defeat French forces. For that reason, I tried to persuade farmers to lend their horses and wagons to him and his men.
It was a very difficult task, basically because the farmers didn't trust us. Finally, I was able to negotiate with them; but unfortunately, things were wrong and Braddock was killed and about one thousand of his men, too.
I have written all my experiences in a book that I called "my quire book". It is very important for me to keep it safe, so I have decided to give it to you in order to transcribe it. I'm sure that you will do the best.
These documents are very important to me, not only as a proof of my political value to Great Britain, but the assembly's loyalties are on the right side.
My dream is to liberate our country and to contribute for a better nation for every single man of these valuable lands.
Yours sincerely,
Benjamin Franklin
