Letters and More Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son presents George Horace Lorimer’s famous
Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son and its lesser known but equally hilarious sequel,
More Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son.
With his unique dry wit, Lorimer lampoons the attitudes of the newly moneyed classes of the Gilded Age – characters straight out of
The Great Gatsby – in a series of fictional exchanges between John ‘Old Gorgon’ Graham, a prosperous pork-packer in Chicago, and his son, Pierrepont, whom he ‘affectionately’ calls ‘Piggy.’

Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son) are from a father to a son in college (Harvard) but in the sequel (
More Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son) Pierrepont has graduated and is writing to his pa to see if there is any work for him in the family business. The Old Gorgon is reluctant but thinks there might be an opportunity for Piggy in the lard department…
