Day Fifteen

I have started providing oil and wood to my guests. I have a famous guest by the name of General Braddock. Tomorrow he says he plans to fight the Indians. I am scared for him. I have heard stories from other soldiers that out in Western Pennsylvania the Indians are fierce. I have read of thousands of deaths. All of the females that are staying have been crying nonstop worrying about their husbands. I am trying to do whatever I can to help. Three days ago I loaned a horse a couple of men so they could transfer goods and ammunition faster out to General Braddock. I told them if they see my brother while they travel, tell him I’m alive. He has been out there for three months now. My family is worried about him just as much as the families are.
