was safe to leave the money with her.

hundred a day. Jeff and Andy worked twelve hours a day answering them.
Most of the men wrote that they had lost their jobs. The world misunder
stood them. But they were full of love and other good qualities.
Jeff and Andy answered every letter with high praise from the writer. 【M5】______
