On the Dolphin Sailing to Wethersfield

Dear Journal,
I have just left the beautiful island of Barbados and am sailing to Wethersfield, Connecticut to live with my Aunt Rachel and my Uncle Mathew. You see, My grandfather died and I had to sell the house, the land, the slaves and all the furniture to pay for my passage. I know life will not be as easy as it was with my grandfather, but how hard could it be, right?
