When you were in Sparta on a business trip we did not get that much time to share my thoughts with you. I am now going to tell you all about life in Sparta. Life in Sparta is harsh. When you are a baby soldiers come by and look at you. If the soldiers think you are weak they will put you an a mountain side to die.
Spartan boys are only seven when they begin their military training.
Unlike girls in the other Greek city-states, Spartan's wrestled and played many different sports. We have already discussed what we eat and drink in previous letters. I must be going. I will talk to you soon.
