When English settlers came to Jamestown, the living conditions were very poor. By the time 1609 had come around, they had faced a harsh winter called "the starving time".
Because the winter was so harsh, people were getting sick and dying off at a very fast rate. Only about 1/3 of the settlers survived that winter, and it was rumored that the starving time was so bad that the settlers turned to eating some of the animals, such as the dogs to stay alive.
Because the people were eventually reinforced with supplies and more settlers, the colony of Jamestown was able to persevere and keep going considering they lost a significant amount of their original settlers. The tobacco crop and more settlers coming on ships in the next few years is what was able to keep Jamestown thriving.
This helped make it the first permanent settlement in North America, unlike the Lost Colony of Roanoke, Virginia, where all the settlers had vanished in the late 1500s.
8.108 mi² and it's located in an Island in Tokyo, Japan. Hope this helped. :)

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

My letter would be this.
Dear Sir,
As a hard-working American citizen, I would like to ask you to reconsider the idea to impose new taxes on goods on American businesses.
As you know, we are living an economic reactivation in this time that has been given a proper name: "the roaring 1920s."
People are buying. They are using credit, but it is good for American businesses. We are hiring more people, creating jobs in the country. Consumers feel content with the quality products they are buying. SO everybody is winning.
It is not a good time for more taxation.
Let us continue with the creation of jobs, investing in the economy of our country.
Thank you very much for your attention.
Sincerely yours,
