America's Representative Lady Shot.
(portrait, with countries listed around the outside: America, England, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Germany, Holland, Russia, and Belgium)
November 11, 1890
How dare you accuse me of disloyalty? I devoted my life to bringing glory to the Tomas. I didn't even want to go to Europe last year with that varmint, Buffalo Bill and the Wild West Show. Can you imagine traveling across the world with 30 buffalo and 180 horses? But y'all told me it was important. I was happy to entertain them Europeans with my shooting, but I just couldn't bring myself to assassinate the future King of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm. I know y'all think that the Ekats are cooking up a plot to take over Europe, but I don't think Wilhelm will cause any trouble.
As predicted, he did come to my show in Berlin. And, he even challenged me to shoot the ashes off this cigarette while he was holding it! All I had to do was tilt my wrist a little bit, and he would've been a goner. But something stopped me. I'm no killer. You'll have to find someone else.
Yours,
Annie Oakley (signature)

Y'all were right. That rascally Wilhelm is evil. I can't believe I passed up an opportunity to take him out! I could have prevented this terrible war. I'm going to ask him for another shot ...
Yours,
Annie Oakley (signature)
