Dear Aunt Bessie,
I have finally decided what I’m doing with the money you gave me. Progressivism was a time when people tried to change things. I have figured out how to divide the $1,000,000 to help.

If all the trees get cut down then there will be a lack of oxygen, and it will ruin the animal’s
