Chapter One Updated. Hopefully it's much better than it was before.

Year 1760

Hannah Baudin knew she was dying and it scared her because she's a widow and has a four weeks old newborn baby.

She didn't know what is going to happens to her baby once she's gone.

She was the only child and her parents disowned her when she married a poor boy, Henry.

She had already drew up her will and wrote a letter for her baby daughter so when her daughter turns 18 year old, she could read it.

She was trying think of anyone who could take her daughter in and she thought of Elizabeth Martin. Elizabeth is her best friend and lives in South Carolina.

Elizabeth already had a two year old son, Gabriel and her husband, Benjamin is fighting in the French and Indian War.

Hannah rushed to the reading room and drew up a paper and a quill. She started writing a letter for Elizabeth to explain about her situation and invited her to come down here to see her.

She put the letter in the envelope and wrote down Elizabeth's address. She called her housekeeper and the housekeeper came into the room.

"Please take this to the post tavern." says Hannah. The housekeeper made a curtsy and said "Yes, Madame." The housekeeper left the room with the letter.

Hannah sat down on her late husband's favorite chair and started to read the bible, praying that Elizabeth will come here in time before she dies.
