First Sight of America

Prudence

Dear journal,
I am now teaching Prudence, a little girl from town, how to read. She wishes she could go to school, but her mother believes that she is stupid and cannot learn. So I took her down to the meadow and taught her how to read. I also introduced her to Hannah, and now they are good friends. I worry about us getting caught, but we try to stay safe and out of sight.
