Part 2 of the passage after the attached clip : After five years, my father was able to buy a small plot of land. He and I built a simple house to live in, and in this way I learned carpentry skills. We worked hard to make our farm profitable and in time were able to hire convicts who had recently been freed to work the land with us. My father bought more land with his profits and became a respectable member of the community. I took on more and more carpentry work until I could earn a living at my trade.
After five more years, I was now twenty-three years of age and earning a decent living, so I asked the fair and clever daughter of our nearest neighbor to be my wife. Sally accepted, and we built our own house and carpentry shop with both our families' help. We had seven children and have led a very comfortable life. Although I endured a harsh childhood with much work and little education, I am glad that fate led us to Australia, where we have prospered. My children have had the opportunity to attend school and seem destined to rise in society. Perhaps someday, one of my descendants will bring great honor to our family and our new homeland.
