Our antics have really caused such alarm in our community and it is remarkable that I have been named as one of the victims! My name must pass the lips of everyone in the village now since I am so well known. Through the floorboards some days ago, I overheard Uncle Parris relaying to others that four village leaders, Thomas Putnam, his brother Edward, Joseph Hutchinson and Thomas Preston have filed a complaint with the Salem magistrates accusing Tituba, Sarah Good and Sarah Osborn for hurting me, Betty, Ann Putnam Junior and Elizabeth Hubbard by witchcraft. It is remarkable that we continue to have such control over the adults. I will have a very firm chat with Ann and Elizabeth in order to keep them in line since they look up to me as the leader of our group. I wonder how much trouble the women we accused will be in? Maybe they will even be sent to jail for a time?
