Today is the day I’m scheduled to hang; no one left has
confessed even me. I refuse to lie for m y life if I die I’ll die an honest
man. They brought my beautiful Elizabeth in to see me I suppose they wanted her
to convince me to confess, and I had considered it I really did, but the man in
me the god fearing man wouldn’t let me sign that confession paper. It was bad
enough that I had to die but to keep my life in exchange for a lie was not in
my character I just couldn’t do it and to have it hanging on the church door.
The church door I just couldn’t let them hang a lie so massive on the church
door. But most of all my pride wouldn’t let me confess I couldn’t shame my own
name any more than I already had. Especially since I confessed to the court
that I had slept with Abigail, and in return still didn’t save my wife. I love my family god knows I do but I just
couldn’t let that happen. I know that Elizabeth is safe even if it only for a
couple of months she is safe and I got to see her one last time before I died. It’s
said that Abigail and some other girls ran off with Reverend Parris’s money
never to be heard of again I suppose. These are my last word and I want the
world to know I love my family!
