Dear Diary,

Hello I'm Edward and I'm here to finish Nomasa's story: Nomasa died that day and her letter was completely true, I was wrong, blinded by my own self-desires. And she was so selfless. The worst part was she had a child- which was found unharmed in Nomasa's arms. I don't know if the child was of her blood. The baby had a lighter skin than Nomasa's.  And a list was found in Nomasa's pocket on it one name- Hope, so that is what I've called the baby- Hope, hope that Nomasa will find herself with the angels. I've taken Hope in as one of my own –it's what Nomasa would have wanted. (Considering she was trying to get that child away from you...) I'm trying to correct my mistakes but it's too late, I should have done it when she was alive. I've kicked Sofia out my house and held a funeral for Nomasa. Slavery has been abolished over the last 5 years. However I can't take all the credit as it was a collaborative effort by lots of people. One day slavery will be completely gone and I don't care if people look down on me because of my views.

What have I got to lose? 

What Have I Got to Lose? By Millie Cripps-Wells

I am and always will be a slave so if I die trying to

escape my birth-right so be it... at least I will be free
