Danish West Indies seafront dream of American annexation
Karl H. Svenson writes from Charlotte Amalia St Thomas detailing centuries of Danish rule in the islands, poverty under monopolies, and a bold case for U S acquisition at about 3 000 000 for the group. He argues the harbor at Saint Thomas justifies a U S coaling station and urges action by U S leaders. The letter ends urging annexation to revive trade and prosperity.
