Jack London at Utah State University
Description
An account of the resource
Jack London, legendary author of adventure classics such as Call of the Wild and White Fang, came from blue-collar beginnings and was largely self-taught. He based many of his exciting literary yarns on his hard-scrabble life experiences which included poaching oysters, laboring at a cannery, jute mill, and coal power plant, and panning for gold in the Alaskan Klondike. Broken by personal despair, two unsuccessful attempts to have children with second wife Charmian, the destruction of his California dream home, and slow kidney failure from years of alcohol abuse, London died on November 22, 1916, at age forty. This selective small digital collection highlights his will, letters, and book inscriptions that offer insights into his complex relationships with the important women in his life: first wife Bessie, second wife Charmian, daughters Joan and Bess, mother Flora, “mammy” Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London’s life as well as a full inventory of USU’s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see <a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206">http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206</a>. Merrill-Cazier Library's Special Collections and Archives houses one of the largest Jack London manuscript collections in the world, second only to the prestigious Huntington Library in San Marino, California. This acquisition was a result of the close personal and professional relationship between Irving Shepard, Jack London's nephew and executor of his literary estate, and King Hendricks, a prominent London scholar and English professor at USU. Thanks to a series of purchases and donations from the London estate made between 1964 and 1971, USU is now proud to provide online access to selected material from the collection.

Letter from Joan London to Jack London, dated October 28, 1913.
Piedmont, Cal.,
Dear Dad: ' Get.20, 1913.
I was unable to write Saturday, on account of Portola, on Sunday, on account of company, and so here I am writing now, Monday night. I 'm all ready for bed, in my bed slippers
and oajr.mas, and my hair hanging down. I 'in curled up on the couch in my bed room, and as
soon as I 'm through I 'li "beat, it" to bed, for there are two ox's to-morrow. One I 'n long-
for, and the other well, I 'm not longing for it, 'cause it is a French ex. The first one
is an ex. in Algebra. Yumi yum'. I love Algebra'.l'
'.Veil, Dad, I ' ve r ad over your letter, read it twice and carefully, and I understand from it that silence on my part means that I am satisfied with my present surroundings-. I
tried to keep silence, for I am satisfied, but you have demanded an answer. So, this I nay, I
am perfectly satisfied with my present surroundings and do a»t wish to change them.
I resent your opinions of my mother. Sho is considered as one of the finest coach^rs
in Oakland, by the principals of the different schools, and Mr.Barker, Supt. of Schools. Her
pupils can always be marked by their good work In both grammar and high schools. And above all
this, she is a good mother, end what is greater, in this world, than a good mother! This is
not only my opinion but also, of many others.
And now, Daddy, since we have thrashed this question out together, may wo not leave
it. I have nothing more to say in the matter, for I have given my final decree. I shall stay
; with my mother, and I shall keep my promise to do so, until I 'm old enough to support myself.
ELease, Daddy, please let mo feel that this is the last of these awful letters you
force me to write you; it hurts me so to write them, and yot, you/ demand these kind of answers
and I can only write them.
Now, I 'm, getting so sleepy that I close one eye and then the other to keep awake and
I lm yawning continuously, so Good night mon cher p6re, et "sweet dreams."
Lots of love,
(Signed)J oan.

Jack London letter to Joan London, dated August 29, 1913.
COPY
Glen Ellen, August 29, 1913
Dearest Joan:
Of course, read all your letters from me,to your mother.
This is to reply to yours of Aug.27, 1913.
No; I neither "see" nor "understand." If you came to see me 6$ Glen Ellen here, you
would see me, all tha world, and my wife.
When you ask as if I cannot see, if I cannot understand, I answer you that I cannot
see, cannot understand what you think you see, and what you think you understand.
Now is the time for us to get right up in meeting on our hind legs and testify to
what we see and understand.
WHAT DO YOU SEE AND UNDERSTAND! Now is the time. Tell me. Let me glimpse the face
of truth as you glimpse it. Tell me what the faceJof truth looks like. If you don't tell me,
then do you refuse to share truth with me. Then are you not true to me.
And can you or I travel very far together in this world when you refuse to seek anything less than perfect understanding with me!—----anything less than full truth shared between
us!
Remember that truth is the greatest thing in the worlc. If you will be great, you
will be true. If you suppress truth, if you hide truth, if you do not rise up and speak out in
meeting, if you speak out in meeting without speaking the whole truth, then are you less true
and
than truth by that much are you less than great.
Now just what is it that you see, and you understand, which prevents you from coming
to see me on ray ranch. Don't be afraid of being harsh. Don't be afraid of being true. What
is it you see and understand (which I in truth can neither see nor understand) that prevents you
from corning to my ranch!
In all love,
(Signed) Daddy.

Jack London letter to Joan London, dated November 12, 1915.
Glen Ellen, California, November 12, 19.15.
Pear Joan:
In reply to yotirs of November 5, 1915:
First of mil, I think I hive given orders to have sent to you a oheok for
$7.50 to oover the extra cost of tha silk dress. If you hav« not recffivno. this cheek
please let ne know, and I shall have it i^romptly sent.
Yes, I will sit alongside Beoky, but I will not be able to meet her outside
and go la with her. Ike must have lief own ticket and go in and take her seat, and I
will meet her there at her sent. My reasons for this are simple and ample. I ar. going
to "y^nd four hours of that day in the dentist's chair. The rest of the day will be
apemt ia getting something to eat and going to a turkish bath in order to forget how
badly my mouth hurts me. So I shall arrive at the auditorium just in tine to go in
and take ay seat.
As regards/ my tioket, it would be the easiest thing for me if you mailed it
to me ear« of Grandma at 490 ftfth Street, or gave it to Grandma with instructions to
hold it for me and txirn over to rm whan I arrive from Glen Ellen. Mow if it be mailed
under my narae to Grandma without any instructions, Grandma will most likely re-address
the letter to Glen Ellen, and I shall be in Oakland and the tioket will be in Glen
llleftj so it is ttf to you so to arrange it that Grandma will hold the ticket in Oakland
and give it to ne when I oome down.
h fhen I seo Becky I will pay her the half dollar for my tioket.
As regards your eritioisn of Dr. Goodhue's article, on ne, entitled "The
absolutely
Rancher", I agree/with you in your eritioisn. I could not have stated it better myself.
I shall be forever unable to se« you and Beoky at your Piedmont hone. As you
know, the ranch is always open to both of you. Also, sometime, if you eatiVMlxP oan see
your way to it, I should be glad to have you oone and have lunch or dinner with ne at
the "Saddle Rook" restaurant on 13th Street.

Jack London at Utah State University
Description
An account of the resource
Jack London, legendary author of adventure classics such as Call of the Wild and White Fang, came from blue-collar beginnings and was largely self-taught. He based many of his exciting literary yarns on his hard-scrabble life experiences which included poaching oysters, laboring at a cannery, jute mill, and coal power plant, and panning for gold in the Alaskan Klondike. Broken by personal despair, two unsuccessful attempts to have children with second wife Charmian, the destruction of his California dream home, and slow kidney failure from years of alcohol abuse, London died on November 22, 1916, at age forty. This selective small digital collection highlights his will, letters, and book inscriptions that offer insights into his complex relationships with the important women in his life: first wife Bessie, second wife Charmian, daughters Joan and Bess, mother Flora, “mammy” Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London’s life as well as a full inventory of USU’s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see <a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206">http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206</a>. Merrill-Cazier Library's Special Collections and Archives houses one of the largest Jack London manuscript collections in the world, second only to the prestigious Huntington Library in San Marino, California. This acquisition was a result of the close personal and professional relationship between Irving Shepard, Jack London's nephew and executor of his literary estate, and King Hendricks, a prominent London scholar and English professor at USU. Thanks to a series of purchases and donations from the London estate made between 1964 and 1971, USU is now proud to provide online access to selected material from the collection.

Thanks to a series of purchases and donations from the London estate made between 1964 and 1971, USU is now proud to provide online access to selected material from the collection.

Jack London at Utah State University
Description
An account of the resource
Jack London, legendary author of adventure classics such as Call of the Wild and White Fang, came from blue-collar beginnings and was largely self-taught. He based many of his exciting literary yarns on his hard-scrabble life experiences which included poaching oysters, laboring at a cannery, jute mill, and coal power plant, and panning for gold in the Alaskan Klondike. Broken by personal despair, two unsuccessful attempts to have children with second wife Charmian, the destruction of his California dream home, and slow kidney failure from years of alcohol abuse, London died on November 22, 1916, at age forty. This selective small digital collection highlights his will, letters, and book inscriptions that offer insights into his complex relationships with the important women in his life: first wife Bessie, second wife Charmian, daughters Joan and Bess, mother Flora, “mammy” Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London’s life as well as a full inventory of USU’s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see <a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206">http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206</a>.

Jack London at Utah State University
Description
An account of the resource
Jack London, legendary author of adventure classics such as Call of the Wild and White Fang, came from blue-collar beginnings and was largely self-taught. He based many of his exciting literary yarns on his hard-scrabble life experiences which included poaching oysters, laboring at a cannery, jute mill, and coal power plant, and panning for gold in the Alaskan Klondike. Broken by personal despair, two unsuccessful attempts to have children with second wife Charmian, the destruction of his California dream home, and slow kidney failure from years of alcohol abuse, London died on November 22, 1916, at age forty. This selective small digital collection highlights his will, letters, and book inscriptions that offer insights into his complex relationships with the important women in his life: first wife Bessie, second wife Charmian, daughters Joan and Bess, mother Flora, “mammy” Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London’s life as well as a full inventory of USU’s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see <a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206">http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206</a>. Merrill-Cazier Library's Special Collections and Archives houses one of the largest Jack London manuscript collections in the world, second only to the prestigious Huntington Library in San Marino, California. This acquisition was a result of the close personal and professional relationship between Irving Shepard, Jack London's nephew and executor of his literary estate, and King Hendricks, a prominent London scholar and English professor at USU. Thanks to a series of purchases and donations from the London estate made between 1964 and 1971, USU is now proud to provide online access to selected material from the collection.
