money. I asked myself, “What was she thinking?” but now I see things differently. America is a
very valuable home to many great things. We, as Americans, cannot see many of these great
things. The U.S.A. is different from the one I have been raised among and the one people see.
For that, you are right. In 1913 (present day), there are various struggles that we face and need
change. We have spoken about shortening the list of the harshest problems down to four: child
labor, deforestation, food safety, and suffrage.
I have granted that the women’s suffrage will gain $600,000, thanks to you. In Document

My last option was to give $100,000 to the issue of deforestation. I would have given
more if the other issues weren’t so large. I read an Atlantic Monthly article by the John Muir and

survive in. Muir has made me realize that there is nothing greater than the world and its many
beautiful habitats. Trees are used for many, many things but they play a bigger role left alone in
the ground, where they belong. They must be saved.
I appreciate you leaving me with making the right decisions of where your money should
go. It has made me realize what problems we face as a great but flawed country. Many
wonderful people have made me understand the reform efforts that other have went through-
John Muir, Lewis Hine, Jane Addams, and many great others. Thank you again for this chance
