December 30, 1814

Dear Sarah,

The war has ended, and peace has returned to our village.  A treaty has been made, and Britain has dropped its goal of a nation for the first nations.  They have also agreed never to use the First Nations people in war.  The Alien Act was passed on March 14th, and makes it illegal for people with strong connections to the States to have gone to the United States after the war had begun.  I have a very strong feeling that you are nearby, and with the information I have gathered, I will probably find you soon.  When I find you, writing letters will be pointless, so this may be the last letter I write.  For many years I had false hope that I was going to find you the next day.  This time I know it, I will find you.  If I don't, then there is nothing to believe in anymore.  Ma and Pa have passed away.  It is only  me and you left.

So long,

George Davis Lanott
