Freedom at Last

                 Dear family,                                                           10-31-1853

    Hi, I've just finished my trip to California. Just to tell you it was hard work.It was cold and scary. I hope I don't do it again. It was kind of fun, but it took a whole week because we started at New York. I walked at night at day we went to a save place so we wouldn't get caught. In the scary trip. I was alone. This all started because of slavery. I was in pane and I was sad on my way there.

                                                                sincerely,

                                                                     Corey
