26th August 1776

Where are we?

We must be nearing the city of New York. The weather is getting colder and there is a lot of rain. We are all preparing for what is upcoming. They haven't announced much to us, but we can tell there will be an upcoming battle in New York.

General Washington, General Putnam, and General Alexander are in charge. They are slowly leading us to the city. We have been told that there are many troops camping out near the base. New York holds a great importance in this war. It's strategic location is perfect for communication between the north and the south. Protecting this location is pivotal for victory.

I have made a few friends. John and I have known each other for a very long time. We both joined the war in Boston and have built a strong relationship. We will look out for each other throughout the long haul.

I must get some sleep now, tomorrow will be a long day.
