Sadly yet another one of my brothers has passed. Tim died last night due to his dreadful fever. We've created a cemetery on the edge of our property, I'm hoping that Tim will be the last one of my brothers I'll have to bury. Father has had no luck with finding me a suitor, but my twin brother John has found work in the Lumber yard building ships. I'm honestly quite relieved that the marriage deal didn't go through, I feel like seven-teen is a little young to be wed. In other good news my mother procured a few sheep, and my mother, sister, and I have been able to make string to sell at the market place. There my father and brothers can bargin for crops, since ours were destroyed. Even though we started out kind of rockey I think we will be able to get through it and all will be well with the world.
