Dear journal

Me and my wife have arrived in York to make sure that our colonies main fort was built.

When we arrived we had to face many challenges. First we needed shelter. For the first few months we had to stay in a canvas house. Another problem was that Sir Guy Chaleton, preferred Kingston to be the capital so he wouldn't provide any financial support. Then we had to convince the other members of our government to move to york because compared to Kingston and Newark, York was wilderness. Eventually we did overcome those challenges
