Dear Joseph,
    Today something exciting happened.  George Washington came to my workshop and asked me to make a flag for the United States of America.  George Washington showed me a sketch.  I didn't like it at all.  I told him that 5 sided stars are easier to make then the 6 sided stars.
    After I made the first American flag the British scared most people away, but I decided to stay .  I let some stay in my workshop.  I was nice to them but I still let them know who is the boss.
                                                                                                                   Sincerely,
                                                                                                                   Betsy Ross

Dear Joseph,

    It was an exciting moment when General George Washington come to my shop and told me to make the flag to represent our country.  I made some changes on the flag and the General really liked it.  So I was making it.  Then when I finished it I put it our on my wall and showed it to everybody.
    George, I really miss you so much.  I hope you come back from the war soon.
                                                                                                                 Love,

Dear Joe,
    General George Washington came to our house.  He wanted me to make the American flag.  I made some changes in his design.  It took 1 week to make the American flag.

                                                                                                           Love,
                                                                                                           Betsy Ross
