Journey to Clement's Farm     

     As I write this, I am not in my own home, but in Clements’ farm. But before I go on, I shall explain to you what has happened. Once I had woken up, I heard a cannon firing, and I knew right away that the war had come to Queenston. 

     Just when I was starting to worry about James, he came to the house with a team of four men carrying the great General Isaac Brock. They placed the dead general onto my bed, and James told me to bring the children to the countryside, where it will be safe from the war. 

     So, after speaking with him, I gathered the children and hurried away from the Heights, where the battle was fought. We went towards the Clement farm, because even though it was farther away, it would also be farther from Queenston and the war. After a long walk on muddy paths and forests, we arrived at the farm, where Mrs. Clement greeted us warmly and welcomed us in. Well, it is about time I checked on my children. I will go on about what happened tomorrow!
