520			_a"Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son" by George Horace Lorimer is a collection of letters written in the early 20th century. The correspondence is between John Graham, a successful merchant in the meatpacking industry, and his son, Pierrepont, who is attending Harvard University. Through these letters, Graham imparts wisdom on education, work ethic, and character development, reflecting on his own experiences as a self-made man. The letters provide both practical advice and personal anecdotes, illustrating the father-son dynamic and the transition between youth and adult responsibilities. At the start of the narrative, we see John Graham’s heartfelt yet humorous approach to educating his son. He encourages Pierrepont to embrace the opportunities for learning at Harvard while emphasizing that character is more important than mere academic success. Graham discusses various life lessons, touching on subjects like the importance of financial prudence, the realities of work, and the need for common sense in business. He stresses that an education should not just be about acquiring knowledge but also about learning how to apply that knowledge effectively in the real world. Throughout this initial portion, readers get a clear sense of Graham’s personality—pragmatic, candid, and ultimately invested in his son’s development into a capable adult.
