Dear Laura,
I was a slave in Georgia for 3 years.Now I'm free at last.I escaped by the underground railroad. Harriet Tubman lead us there.We went from Georgia to Canada it took about 30 days.It wasn't easy for me or the other people who were with me.I always pray for the other people .I had to hide most of the time because they would find us.I felt so sad to be there. But I'm so happy now because I'm free.Now I want to explore the places around me.
Love,Erica
What a great letter Erica! You did a great job adding lots of details to your letter. I wish you would have included where you went to be free though. And is the underground railroad a real railroad with a train?
