The doctors said they hoped it would prove to be, and if it
is, it would be worth the long struggle we had with him to get him to
give up and come. Poor dear man, he was so blue, not about his health
but about giving up the worries down at his office and forgetting them
for a time--if he only will forget them! It took the pressure of the
family and all his best friends, to get him to come--but father and
brother George and Fanny and Eugene Morgan all kept at him so
constantly that he just had to give in. I'm afraid that in my anxiety
to get him to do what the doctors wanted him to, I wasn't able to back
up brother George as I should in his difficulty with Sydney and
Amelia. I'm so sorry! George is more upset than I've ever seen him--
they've got what they wanted, and they're sailing before long, I
hear, to live in Florence. Father said he couldn't stand the constant
persuading--I'm afraid the word he used was "nagging." I can't
understand people behaving like that. George says they may be
Ambersons, but they're vulgar! I'm afraid I almost agree with him.
