30 13 River
Road Montreal, Canada February 28,
1770 Dear Uncle Cecil, How are you and the
family? I hope this letter finds you all healthy.
Mom and Dad are well and I would have written
sooner, but this winter has kept us all busy. It
has been as cold as ice and we have had several
feet of snow. Traveling is difficult and to avoid
sinking in the deep snow we have to use snowshoes
to get around. Luckily, the St. Lawrence River
has frozen over. Once we get to the river, going
is much easier. My little sister, Sally, has
learned to ice skate and Dad can easily slide the
logs he needs to cut into firewood on the ice.
Mom has given me the job of keeping the fire
stoked in our log cabin. With the nearest cabin a
quarter mile away this is an important job. The
fire in the big stone fireplace is the only
source of warmth and light, since our one room
cabin has no windows. Hey, guess what. Im now
big enough to be allowed to sleep in the loft.
Its smoky, but its warm up there even on the
coldest of nights when the wind moans outside
whipping snow flakes by the roof shingles.
Dad and his Algonquin Indian friends have been
trapping beavers. They now name Dad a coureur de
bois, which is French for runner of the woods.
Together they have quite a number of the black
pelts to sell in Quebec this spring when all the
ice melts. Selling them for export Dad hopes to
buy some seed, more shot gunpowder, and
hopefully a gun for me so I can tag along with
him when he goes hunting this summer. I am no
longer afraid of the Algonquins, but I wish I
could say the same of the Iroquois tribes.
Although some say that they respect the authority
of our beloved King George III. Dad is always
saying, The Indians are people too and if you
treat them fairly and with respect youll get
more of the same. Still it is strange to be one
of the few English settlers in what was once part
of the colony of New France.
CS110
31 Because of religious tolerance for Catholics
a missionary, Father Isaac, has established a
church on a nearby hill so on Sunday the whole
family can now go to church. Although it isnt
much fun trudging uphill in the snow, the
sledding home is much fun. Well, Mom is
calling me so Id better close for now. Write
back soon and tell me all thats happening in
England and I promise to be better in returning
your letters. Your Canadian
Nephew, Clifford Heights III 1. __
