Dear Journal,
        I went into the city..... I'm sure I'm a mess..... I saw a shop selling uniforms and I walked in..... I just looked around and then left... I ran into a British officer... The same one who tried to duel with me........ He slapped me..... I was in tears..... I'm so weak........ I couldn't stand up for myself....... I just ran....... I ran and ran......... I ran to the dock.... The same one I arrived at....... It's been 20 days and it's all shut down........ I just want to go back to England....... But I can't turn my back on John..... Or James, or Finn or Livi or Julia............ I was angry..... I just wish I was with ma and pa but I'm not........ I'm going to tell them.... Tomorrow morning............ Then I will go to war..... For John and James..... To watch over them.....
