Leaving the Valley Forge
Winter at the Valley Forge is the worst. That is why I’m going to quit. First I am hoping not to die because of all the illnesses going around. There were 12,000 soldiers in December 1777, but because of all the bad clothes, bad cookery, and cold weather, now there are only 8,000 left.(Doc A and Doc C) If George Washington had asked the Congressional Committee for more supplies I would have stayed.( Doc B) Frank, Bill, and Jerry died, but I still have another 7,200 soldiers to hang out with. (Doc B) We barely get any clothes to wear. Last night I saw Joe walking in the snow with his legs nearly naked from his only pair of stockings.(Doc C) His skin and eyes were almost spoil’d with the continual smoke. (Doc C)
