The small ship, the Mayflower, that my family has sailed from England to the New World on, landed today. It was a hard, long journey across the ocean and everyone was very tired.
Many people are sick and have died on the journey and quite a few are very ill.
My younger brother, Johnathon Jr. has died and my older sister Cora is ill and getting worse. Mother is very tired and so are Father and Cora's husband, Benjamin. My younger sister Anna was walking along side of me holding my hand tightly. We were both cold so we went back to the Mayflower. Inside in the sleeping quarters Mother was nursing Cora who was vomiting because of her horrible illness which consisted of awful stomach cramps and vomiting from seasickness.
