Tarkington, Booth, 1869-1946

"The Magnificent Ambersons"

Your uncle said other people are manufacturing
automobiles in different parts of the country with success. Your
father is not very well, though he is not actually ill, and the doctor
tells him he ought not to be so much at his office, as the long years
of application indoors with no exercise are beginning to affect him
unfavourably, but I believe your father would die if he had to give up
his work, which is all that has ever interested him outside of his
family. I never could understand it. Mr. Morgan took your mother and
me with Lucy to see Modjeska in "Twelfth Night" yesterday evening, and
Lucy said she thought the Duke looked rather like you, only much more
democratic in his manner. I suppose you will think I have written a
great deal about the Morgans in this letter, but thought you would be
interested because of your interest in a younger member of his family.
Hoping that you are finding college still as attractive as ever,
Affectionately,
Aunt Fanny.
George read one sentence in this letter several times.
