Well winter is finally over, and it wasn't as horid as i expected. The only issue we had was Elizabeth came down with a fever, but she managed to get through it and is now back to normal, playing marbles with the other children. Father has found a new job, he now has joined some french settlers in fur trapping. This new career has brought us a more stable income, if our crops are destroyed again we will have no trouble buying new ones. Our town has also started a millitia to protect us against to natives, so there aren't anymore causalities, like Micheal.  Marsh Town as a whole has done quite well, unlike other towns we haven't had any deaths due to starvation.  This adventure may not have started off well, and it's still challenging, I think my family, my town will make it through. Our town will  succeed.
