A Message to Garcia

In my opinion, A Message to Garcia was very confusing. There were a lot of words that I didn't know such as, perihelion, endeavored, imbecility, stenographer, and a few more. I looked up these words and found out that perihelion means the point in the orbit of a planet, asteroid, or comet at which is closest to the sun. Endeavored means to try hard to do or achieve something. Imbecility means an instance or point of weakness; feebleness; incapability. It could also mean stupidity; silliness; absurdity. And finally, stenographer means a person who specializes in taking dictation in shorthand. After looking up these definitions, the message made a little more sense. I think Hubbard was trying to say that the President needed to find someone very reliable and trustworthy to deliver this message.
