Middle+Ages+Letter

Dear Father,

I, your son Leif am living my life in peace and am writing you since I have not spoken to you in a long time. I just have done many things that I think that you should know about. You will probably be very proud of all of these things. Most of my time I now use to sail ships and search for new lands.

Last year I was sailing a ship west toward the Americas and I discovered the land that i named Newfoundland. Once myself and my men got to the land we drank dew for the grass and stayed there for the winter. We built lodgings and cut timber and we hunt. I very much wish that you could have been there to see the lands I discovered and the things myself and my men had built while we settled there.

I am so happy we had moved, because if I hadn't studied Bjarni's work, I never would have went on the adventures that I had. So I thank you for making us move and I hope that you will have time to write back

Sincerely, Your Son Leif Erickson
