Running head: Global Revolution Tim Peters, 24th East Drive Corner Lancashire, England. 15th July 1831Maxwell Chechen,Po box 254-104,Cape Town, South Africa. I hope this letter finds you well Maxwell. I am doing great here in England except for the exhaustion brought about by the long hours of work that is a norm here in Lancashire. Indeed, England is a great country, but unknown to most of you outsiders, the work conditions here are actually terrible. I work in the local textile industry which employs the majority of the people in this neighborhood.

The pay is barely sufficient to cater for all our needs. Nevertheless, I sometimes go to work with my two sons even though the factory pays them half of what they pay adults. Most employees these days prefer to hire children to adults. I hope u know I got married. My dear Sarah works at the nearby postal office. However, at the moment, she is not at work since the postal workers are on strike demanding for increased wages. The working conditions in the factory where I work are not very human.

There is a lot of smoke and we are not provided with any protective gear from the heavy machines. I must confess to you that I rarely have any spare time I can call leisure. I work in the factory for over twelve hours a day and cycles for one hour to reach my abode. The government seems to have totally forgotten about us and its focus is on annexing foreign territories across the oceans. Surely Maxwell, I find no reason why I should be staying in pathetic living conditions just because the government has no clear policies on settlement.

The lighting is very poor and I am not even assured of my security. Let me not talk about many ills here lest you accuse me of a misconceived mindset. I nevertheless believe that England is a great country. At least we can boast about the good roads that are coming up and the railway industry that seems to boom. Most people can also find work despite the low wages. Let me pen off by wishing you good time and health. ThanksYours Sincerely,Tim PetersReferenceToynbee, A. (1956). The Industrial Revolution.
