My character’s name is William Goodman. He has left his grandfather at Leyden. He was too old. Past the age limit. This is a letter that he wrote back to him. It is in pilgrim language. Try to decode it (Pilgrim language is a weird language where somethings are weird, but not everything.)

Dear Grandfather,

This new world is not likee Liden. There aree noo shops, no peopl (Except for tha Indiense,) no nothine. Wee had too bilde aree onee howsees. Wee havee tu worke al tha tim.

William can’t wait for the next letter. But something happens…
