                <text>This letter discusses the prohibition bill passed in Utah and a similar measure that was considered in California. The letter also contains a paragraph about placing an order of hops for the short time in which the Becker's could continue to produce beer. This letter shows that prohibition was a national trend and that it impacted many businesses, such as farmers, in addition to brewers, distillers and liquor retailers.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                <text>EDITORIAL ROOMS OF THE YOUTH'S COMPANION, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS  Nov. 19, 1901.  Mr. Jack London, Dear Sir, - We are sorry to say we have found "The Story of Keech" not quite available for the Companion's use chiefly because of hte fact that it is legendary in character and because the devise employed by Keech has been so often described in teh columns of this paper.  Personally we have thoroughly enjoyed reading the story for it seems to us attractively told, and has plenty of ??? color and atmosphere.  We regret exceedingly the necessity for returnign the manuscript to you, but we are comforted somewhat by the knowledge that you shoudl have little difficulty in placing the story somewhere to our advantage.  We recall your success with us in the past and look forward with pleasure to seeing more of your work in the future.  Thanking you for your ???, we are  Very truly yours, The Editors.</text>

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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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.

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                <text>In this letter, Virginia Hanson responds to an unwanted suitor, who originally wrote to her asking to meet for lunch in Utah. It is a perfect example of where Virginia stands when it comes to marriage- she is not interested, and would rather it that men would just leave her alone. Her strong language towards the stubborn suitor illustrates this opinion. </text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

Accept therefore my belated but hearty welcome.  Your return would have been a mighty fine excuse for me to come up and rubber around for a few days but luck is with you this time.

Charles H. Kerr &amp; Company&#13;
A SOCIALIST PUBLISHING HOUSE OWNED CO-OPERATIVELY  BY  OVER  2100 SOCIALIST LOCALS AND INDIVIDUALS&#13;
118 WEST KINZIE STREET&#13;
CHICAGO     MarGh 29&amp;gt;    1911«&#13;
. Dear Comrade London:&#13;
Your letter of March 4 is received and as I certainly&#13;
do not want to get you into trouble with the Macnillan Company,&#13;
I will drop the idea of the little volume for the present. What&#13;
I cared most to include in it was simply "The Dream of Debs",&#13;
which I think was not copyrighted except.in the Review and&#13;
"The Apostate", which was published by the Appeal without&#13;
copyrighting at all.   We might publish each of these later on&#13;
in pamphlet form if agreeable to you.&#13;
'"""       The trouble with our publishing "Human Drift" is that&#13;
one really needs to have a liberal education before he can enjoy&#13;
it while the others appeal to the ordinary wage-i7orker.  I have&#13;
had an occasional call for a booklet of yours entitled n&amp;lt;T,he&#13;
Tramp" but do not remember to have seen a copy for a long time.&#13;
13 it one that you would like to have circulated by the&#13;
Socialist locals?&#13;
If you ever have occasion to say anything that is too&#13;
warm for the other magazines, remember the Review.    7Te are&#13;
growing but are not yet able to pay anything like the prlcea&#13;
for articles which the big capitalist magazines offer.&#13;
Yours fraternally,&#13;

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;.

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

"CONTEMPORARY,  LONDON."&#13;
Office   of   MANAGING   DIRECTOR,&#13;
_ „.. February 18 th, /00 2&#13;
Dear Sir,&#13;
Va have within the last  few weeks put your book "The&#13;
God of His Fathers8 on the English market,  having taken it  from&#13;
Messrs UcClura, Phillips &amp; Co.       We have also bought  the rights&#13;
in "The son of the Uolf" from the English house to whoa Messrs&#13;
Houghton, Mifflin &amp; Co.   had parted with the^E^-M-sh r4-gfrt-3.  We&#13;
are now writing to say to you that  (as we have  already informed&#13;
Messrs Houghton, Mifflin &amp; Co.)  we  shall hope  to have whatever&#13;
future work you are putting out.      We wish to express our&#13;
admiration of the power with which you write and  it   is our&#13;
intention to push your books strongly in England,   believing that&#13;
they deserve  success.&#13;
As a commercial mutter we believe  it will be to your&#13;
advantage to see that your future books also come  into our hands&#13;
on this side. Ue  also hope  that you will see soiae propriety in&#13;
continuing as far as possible your connection with the house&#13;
which is now preparing to gamble on your first  work when it cm^t&#13;
be very much of an expertofrti with the English public.     It may&#13;
perhaps be as well to explain that  the undersigned has lived in&#13;
the United States for some 15 years* and is not unfamiliar with&#13;
mining life.    Personal considerations have largely ewayed us in&#13;
our determination to take hold of your work in earnest,  and to&#13;
do all that we can to make a success of it.    ^part from that let&#13;
me  say again that  there is a very sincere admiration for the&#13;
quality of your writing.&#13;
with best wishes.&#13;
Yours wery sincerely,^&#13;
Mr.Jack London,&#13;
952, East 16th Street,&#13;

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

May 6th //^ 3&#13;
My dear London,&#13;
I am indeed very sorry to hear of your accident ,&#13;
although I hope that "by thetime this letter reaches you you&#13;
will have "begun to forget it.&#13;
You are correct in the matter of royalties and&#13;
I have written to the Macraillan Company saying that it is my&#13;
error, my letter having been written without reference to&#13;
documents on the subject.    I have also informed Macmillan's&#13;
that we will put the "Kempton Y/ace Letters" in hand at once.&#13;
As for the long term Agreement which I suggested,&#13;
this was only to show my spirit and attitude towards you.  So&#13;
long as you and I deal directly I think there will be no&#13;
difficulty whatever "but as soon as we get a third party between&#13;
us ©id especially a third party which, however upright, has none&#13;
the less an interest in placing your books elsewhere than with&#13;
us, there is always danger of trouble.&#13;
HThe Call of the Xlild-  I think very good and&#13;
hope we can arrange to tetce It.&#13;
Mr. Jack London&#13;

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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

lily dear London,&#13;
I have your letter and this is only a "brief&#13;
line of acknowledgement.&#13;
The "People of the Abyss", as you know, has&#13;
"been published, and copies of it will have reached you before&#13;
this letter,   I think there is nothing you will object'to&#13;
in the alterations, or elisions, which I have cade; in fact, I&#13;
do not think you will notic© them. The book is getting a lot&#13;
of notoriety, sons of it favourable, and some otherwise, but in&#13;
what is generally acknowledged to be the worst publishing season&#13;
that we have had in England for many years, I have great hopes&#13;
of its being a big success.   It promises that way at the start.&#13;
The "Xcnpton wace Letters" has dragged very&#13;
slowly at first, but is showing more activity during this last&#13;
woek or two, and I think the outlook for it also is fairly&#13;
promising*&#13;
I am asking our Publicity Department to ssnd&#13;
you some reviews which you may not have  coon.&#13;
Yours very s Sneer elyy&#13;

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

Dear Sir:&#13;
I understand from your publishers—The MacMillan&#13;
Company—that the serial rights to your book THE&#13;
MUTINTOF THE ELSINOR, are held by yourself.&#13;
I should like very much to get a release on this&#13;
story for the Scnpps-McRae League papers, a list&#13;
of which I append to this letter.&#13;
In using the story it would be run as one of our&#13;
novels-a-week    and would therefore have to be cut&#13;
to about 20.000 words.  For this privilege I would&#13;
be willing to pay $200.00.    Of course we advertise&#13;
each story widely before publication.&#13;
Hoping to hear from you favorably, and at your&#13;
earliest convenience,  I am,&#13;
Vejy truly &#13;
"*S,        Fiction Editor.     /&#13;
