A/N: The first few chapters are written choppily/with bad grammar because of creative license. I mean, Mattie's new to the language-of course it'll lack flow. Oh, and sorry I took so long to rewrite. You probably won't remember reading this, haha.

France is teaching me how to write. Today he give me this journal for practice. He says that I need to write my memories because one day I will forget them. I do not want to forget my memories.
France and I have been brothers for one year. Donnacona says I should leave France. France is nice to me. I do not want to leave him. He likes teaching me how to speak French and how to write French. He likes talking to me and looking after me too. Sometimes he makes me clean his house but that is fine.
Donnacona says it is not fine. He says France should leave me alone. He says that King Francois is mean because he told Jacques Cartier to take Domagaya and Taignoagny back to France's house. Donnacona is not here. I asked France about Donnacona today. He says Donnacona is talking to King Francois. France wants me to go to his house and help King Francois understand Donnacona. I have been there before but it is far away!
My brother will miss me. He cannot come with me because Spain is trying to be his big brother. We used to spend every day together. We do not now. I want France to tell Spain to leave so I can see my brother again.
