attention to the trouble brewing in the colonies. his day to day struggle to maintain his farm and

family is what worries him. his problems have recently become worse; his landowner, a

lovalist, has had some financial troubles and to get himself out of his enormous debts, his

landowner raised colonist a's rent three times in the last five months. colonist a barely earns

enough from selling his crops to pay the original rent amount and now with the raise in the rent.

c onist a will be evicted from his farm. he and his wife have six children and fear they will
