Old Graham letters offer tales of raising a son
Excerpt from Ol Gorgon Graham More Letters From a Self Made Merchant to His Son by George Horace Lorimer. The narrator recalls a newborn weighing twelve pounds and musings on fatherhood, frugality, and teaching children sensible values. He muses on mothers, nurses, and the misfit use of servants, then shifts to anecdotes about a meticulous calculator and a baseball fan, all framed as reflections from a self made merchant to his son.
