Answer:
Dear Cousin,
I agree with Paine when he said that the colonies need independence from Great Britain. Our colonies have been striving well. We can make our own naval fleet bigger than the British Navy. If we build our own, then maybe we can grow and trade with other countries with much ease. We should not depend on Britain, because we will never grow as a nation. Independence will allow us to grow and prosper, much bigger than the country that has colonized us.
Your cousin,
