Letters from Americans #1 the trip

Dear Elizabeth,

This trip is awful!  There are so many people getting sick and even dying.  The only reason I am in this filthy ship is that we are going to get to go to a new world.  I even got sick but was quickly cured.  I wish you were here with me.  My ship is called the Mayflower and it is huge but disgusting.  I sleep in a bunk above a snoring man every night and wake up for yet another day of boredom and sitting wondering if we will ever arrive in the new world.

Best Wishes,

Constance
