Entry 9: April 1779

Hola mi amigos! That is all the Spanish that I can speak, but I wish that I knew alot more. Spain joined into an alliance with the Patriots in March 1779. A man of the last name de Galves made the official agreement. This will help us make leaps and bounds, because Spain has a small army and excellent battle planning skills. Meanwhile, the farm is not going well. The crops are dying without proper care, since I cannot find anyone willing to do the work. My parents have moved in with us, and my father has been helping but one person cannot run the whole farm
