Dear Sarah,

The timber industry is really blooming!  Ever since the supply of timber from Britain was cut off because of the war there, North America stepped in.  I have taken a part time job in the timber industry, because in the winter I can't really do much with my farm that I told you about in my previous letter.  In the lumber industry, we frequently use the rivers.  We cut logs into square logs to make them easier to pack into ships.  Then we make huge rafts to move the logs downstream.  I hope you are doing well, wherever you are.

Your brother,

George Davis Lanott

  1. I work for the timber cutting group too! I hope we could meet some time at work, and we can some chicken soup too! If you didn't know, I was the one that thought up of the river thing with the timber! I thought up of that first! , Charles
