Immigration Letter

Dear, Family
I now got a job in the sewing factory. They have now let me work the sewing machines. I’m getting paid about $4.25. I don’t really like the work. They work us to hard and I have seen them cheat some people out of their pay. Working there is very tiring. I have moved into a small apartment. There are a lot of people living here with me. They have 10 kids! An in the day time we have others that come and sleep. They have treated me well. Since I have moved here I have see so many new things. There are more people on one street then our whole town! It’s so easy to get lost just walking down the street. There are so many news things here. They have buildings that are more than one story high. Some buildings have these things called fire escape so if you live in a top story and there’s a fire then they can get out. I really like how New York is so exciting. When just walking down the street there’s is so much excitement. What I really don’t like is that they treat girls different. Man thinks that they are so much better then us. They don’t listen to us when we speak. They think that were not smart enough to do things like go to school. Even the rich girls got this thing were they agree with the man! I have planed to go to school after I make enough money. I well keep sending you money. I wish you all could be here with me. I well write you the next time I send you money. Take care of the kids an use all the money I send. I love you all!
