Dear family,
I have decided to move to Georgia because I love to harvest vegetables and I want to live in the countryside. Also, I had a debt back in England and I didn't know what to do, but then I found out if I went to Georgia I could be free.
The two other colonies I don’t like so much because New England
Colonies do whaling and other gross jobs. The middle colonies are nice but they have too many trees!
I like long fields and living by the ocean too. It looks pretty here.
I wish you could see this because there are flowers blooming and my house looks neat!
Hope you can visit soon!
Love,
Maizy Lee Goerlitz
p.s. I just got a cat.
