An Invitation

from George Calvert (Alias Ashley and Amanda)

Dear All of the people in England,

I'm George Calvert and I am writing you this letter and I want to ask you if you would like to come over to the New World. It is great. You will own your own land. You will be you own boss, you will be able to do what you want, when you want, and how you want! You will also be able to pick your own religion.

Imagine no Taxes, gold (lot of it too), and Adventure! If you like any of these things then you will love the New World. All you got to do is catch the boat to the New World and you can be on your way. So please come to the Free, and the New World.

George Calvert

Dear All,

If you are tired of always having to go to the Church of England come with me. In the land that King Charles I gave me you can worship in the religion you wish. The soil is rich for farming. The population of the animals is very high. You can hunt and farm like never before. The houses that we will build can be glorious or just something plain and simple. You WILL own your own land. The prices will be very low. There may be no prices at all. You could do whatever you want. You must though however follow the laws that will soon be made. So if you are looking for somewhere else to go whether it be for religion or land of your own. Come with me!!!!! Sleep on it!

Sincerely,
George Calvert
(Amanda)
