How would you like the idea of our island, Hawaii, being annexed with the United States? Well my fellow Hawaiians, we do not have a choice but go along with it and see what it may bring us. We do not know what they have in store for us. The Americans can come up with so many great things for us and our children. We do want the best for them right?! Well let us give them the island and see what may come. William McKinley’s decision will be made later on in the next year, 1897.. As President Cleveland said last year, the agreement is “flagrant wrong”, how will he know if he does not know yet what may happen? Many of you may not like it but they are much powerful than us so I say we take their agreement to do it.
Sincerely,
