King George III of Great Britain,
The Proclamation of 1763 states that no one is allowed to settle west of the Allegheny Mountains. I understand that you do not want to anger the Indians, but we veterans need a place to settle. The east coast is getting crowded as more people come in high hopes for land. If we could move further west then there would be more room for people to live. Many of the veterans of the French and Indian War have talked and decided that we fought for our country for seven years and deserve to stay where we please. Even though the majority of the Indians were against us, the Iroquois were on our side. Maybe if you talked to them, they would help us move westward. They probably would talk to other Indians and let us have part of the land. I am sure you could strike up a deal with them. This would make all our veterans very pleased. We went to war, we deserve something out of this.
Sincerely,
Don Garden, veteran of the French and Indian War

I agree. The veterans of the French and Indian war fought hard - they deserved to be able to settle on the land of the Ohio River Valley!
