Well I'm really glad that the declaration passed. We worked really hard and have fought a lot of battles to get to where we are. I really hope it comes in handy in the future. Well got to go bye.

July 9

 A couple days have passed since the passing. On the 5th my dear friend John Handcock, president of the Congress, dispatched the first copy of the declaration to the legislatures of New Jersey and my homestate Delaware. Yesterday, the 8th, was the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence is in Philadelphia. Right now I've just got a message saying that Washington orders that the Declaration of Independence be read before the American Army in New York. Well I guess i'm going on a field trip now blog you later. Bye.

                                                                                                     Great Regards,

July 4
It passd! It passed! It finally passed! Today, July 4, 1776, congress passed the Declaration of Independence early this bright and sunny morning in Philadelphia. A boy named John Dunlap prints the Declaration. We have worked very hard on this document and hopes to be very successful in the future. We have lost many lives to get to where we are right now so please use your freedom to the fullest. Thank you.
                                          Best Blessings,

Declaration of Independence

Hey there again. Two years have past since I've last blogged, now its 1777. In '76 I was chosen to join the Constitutional Convention in Delaware. I was asked to be President of the committee that was drafted the document. Now in 1777 they have captured the governor John McKinly and I have taken over Delaware in this horrible happening. I will be leading the state through a war crisis, raising money, troops, and supplies for the defense of my state. I'll be back soon so if i don't blog you know where i'm at. Bye for now.


                                                                                                        Sincerely,
                                                                                                         George Read
