From Elise,
Dear brother, I am writing you this letter to inform you how it is to be a Cherokee and live with the whites. It is hard i try my best to blend in. But no matter what they don't treat me the same as the rest of the whites.
I hope to see you later,
you're loving sister

Dear Johnny,
Our president Jackson has moved away the natives so we can get all their goods (gold and cotton). This is an opportunity for us to do what we always wanted. Have a farm!!!Well i hope you accept on this idea if you still want to do it.
Yours sincerely,
Jake
The picture above shows how Jackson was. He did not care about what the supreme court said. Jackson would use force to do what he wanted to do.
