Date 7 January 1772
I have just arrived at the Old Bailey and I have got sentenced to death. I wish I never stole the 12 shillings and was working at my house weaving stuff.My life was so much better than this when I was back at my house. On the way out the judge changed his mind and said you are transported for 14 years to Botany Bay on the charlotte. I felt a litte bit happier after that. I begged to let my children come. He said "OK"! I will be 45 when my sentence is over.I don`t know what I am going to do in New South Wales after that.
