Life in New France

Hello Mother and Father it is me Rose. You might be worrying about me right now but do not worry I am happy here. The laws are great here women have lots of rights for example we can work, go to school, have our own businesses, and have other people under control. I have married a handsome and intelligent man his name is Edmond. He is about 5 years older than me he is 29 years old. I really love him. He has not yelled at me or cussed or hit me. He respects me and my space he lets me go to school and have fun. He does not let me work. I do not know why but I respect his decision. He has 2 daughters and the youngest daughter’s name is Rosaline who is 4 years old and the oldest Emily who is 7. They are beautiful girls and they make me laugh and help me with chores and other things. The people here are all very nice but some can be greedy or mean but it is alright. We have an intendant who is Jean Talon and we have a Governor and a very nice and respectful Bishop. The stores here are so expensive but have fresh fruit. Anyways mother please tells father I miss him and I love him. Say hello to all my friends and cousins there for me. Do not worry about me mother I am fine here. I love you. Good bye.


Sincerely yours, Rose.
