letter for 13 colonies

Dear Gentleman, My name is Philip Ludman I am the governor of the most amazing colony of North Carolina. I would love to have you join us in the most outstanding new world. If you’re thinking about being a farmer North Carolina will be wonderful for you. You should help us build plantations! We can make a deal and you can get lots of land to build plantations! We can grow wonderful fruits and vegetables like, squash, corn, potatoes, onions, rhubarb, lettuce, apples, peaches, and pears. When you come you should help us take care of the animals at the animal farms. Come help us trade as well. You can be the hero of the colony and help us build mills around the streams to ground up food for the colony! Building mills are easy and you would love the job! Go talk to my friend James Huffly to borrow a ship to North Carolina! Gather your friends and family and tell about coming and helping us in North Carolina! I hope this letter find you well! Sincerely, Philip Ludman
