   My Dearest Anne,
     How are you my dear daughter? I hope all is well. We were all blessed by the Lord to arrive on dry land. My daughter you have grown into a beautiful young lady. I am hoping you will come by sea to our wonderful village soon.
We all agreed on the faithful name of Plymouth as the name of our new growing town.
We can practice our religion freely her without the persecution of the imperative  king James.
We have already made laws to prevent the guile of evil-doers upon the colony
Weather here has been fairly nice and puts you in a good disposition. Your mother likes the bright sunlight very much. I’ ve heard of all the rain back in England.
I have come up with great ideas to make progress here. One day as I looked out into my cultivated field it must have triggered something. The ideas just spontaneously came into my head
Hope all is well. Come soon, I’ll be waiting. When the time comes I hope your voyage goes well.
Yours Truly, Pa
