         I's juss made it to New Yok sity.

My cusin Nancy tol me I had to learn the "teachings" of the american language to make it in this big sity. She smart, she knows alot mores den wat dey had teach back in georgia. she was the one who gave me this fansy blank book to rite in. she sayd, "write about things you can't say.. in this hea book, dat way you learn." she teach me thangs, alot of thangs. Her house big! she got everythang i's dream of having,silk material flooded her front room, her bedroom had a big comfy bed. She left georgia wen she was fifteen wit her white boyfriend Joseph. Nancy was pretty she had long hair.. flowing down her strong welped back, her eyes stored colors that changed within the season.Since it was winter, they was blue. Her skin was light almost white, people neva knew she was colored until she talk.So there was no problem when her and Joseph married. some people did not like it. but she did not spare a sense of  care.
