Dear Journal,
In the lot next to us a rather rich family moved in with six slaves in tow (all of them black). I have seen them around the land working on all the hard dangerous jobs that their masters don't like to do. I have seen the masters twice whip them for making even the slightest mistake that had very little effect. A man named Thomas Peters has been trying to give the black peoples some rights but has been turned down twice already so he decided to go to London himself but i hear he has had very little luck so far. Despite all this we have been doing rather well and have managed to cultivate more crops then I expected. We may just make it after all.
I think that what Thomas Peters is doing is great. The black loyalists must be freed. It was promised to them during the American Revolution. I'm sure that Thomas Peters will achive his goal.
