tucked inside it.

A letter
from beyond the grave?

- Exactly.
- Huh.
1247
00:54:31,543 --> 00:54:34,180
Apparently, he asked
that it be given to me
1248
00:54:34,180 --> 00:54:36,015
only after his death.
1249
00:54:36,015 --> 00:54:37,783
For what?
1250

To explain what I'd need
to manage as his sole heir.

anything to manage?

It seems so.
1253

His grandfather made a fortune
in textiles in Boston.

- What?

And you didn't know
anything about it?
1256
00:54:51,764 --> 00:54:55,601
Or did you?
- No, but he's explained.
1257
00:54:55,601 --> 00:54:57,837
When he gave his life to God,
1258
00:54:57,837 --> 00:55:00,339
he chose to live without
the advantages of money.
1259

And he took no payment
for himself.

But many people
depended on the company.
1261

to continue and prosper.
