In reply to your good lattar of August 3, 1914«
I imagine that wa came from tha same original stock but that we became early sap*
ereted after coming to dwell in America. The London branch that I am descended from was living
at Cape May, New Jersey, at tha time of BraddockV defeat, Shortly aftar ths olose of tha
French and Indian wars these Lcndone migrated into Pennsylvania and of oourse after that
spread slowly westward so that I was bom in California,
But prior to tha residence of the Londons at Cape May, Haw Jersey, they lived in
Connecticut and there tradition ceases, Wa have no zecord of how early they cams abroad from
England.
By tha way, there ia a vary large Jewish family that goes by tha name of London*
Thaaa ware Austrian Java who oame over to England about two hundred yaars agofront Austria
and who ohanged thair nana to London* Since that time thay hava spread all over the world,
aa I wall know, because I have encountered them all over the world.

D ear e s t My-Wo man:-
The papers were slow in getting started because my signature to open
letter was typed and they feared it was a fake.
But, honestly, I believe I've got Samuels' goat 1 He's afraid to come
back.
It's election time, you know, and I think enough botes will be swung to
defeat him.
Also hush mention it not 1 got a tip from Noel to-day, which
remains to be investigated and proved, namely (l) Samuels is partly interested -
in Muldowney's dive — how, I do not know. And, (2) one of Samuels relatives
owns the ground and the building rented by Muldowney. Noel is looking it up.
Election the waterfront, other places, there are any number of men,
not socialists, who will remember me and scratch Samuels' name from the ballot.
Incidentally, Muldowney goes on getting more public notoriety for his
place, and is sorry he ever met me. He'll have a job living down (police)
the notoriety I've given him.
There is a daily published in Oakland named The Mail, I believe. Look
up and send me what it said yesterday. Don't forget to-day's Call and Chronicle.
Two letters, on strength of evening papers publication of letter, show
how some votes will swing.
I am saving all your letters. I only destroyed one the "blue" one
in which you worried about me and Samuels.

$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.

As regards your eritioisn of Dr. Goodhue's article, on ne, entitled "The

I shall be forever unable to se« you and Beoky at your Piedmont hone. As you

Jack L. London, Esq.
Cottage Grove, Oregon
My dear Jack London:
Some time recently I had forwarded to me from Mr. Hillier, your letter
of Feb. 25, 1913.
This is the second time I have received a letter from Jack London—nay, it
is the third time. Down in Sydney, Australia, lying in hospital[sic], I
received a letter from a boy, Jack London, who lived over in Western
Australia. About a hear and a half ago I received a letter from Jack London
in Omaha; and now I learn of you, still another Jack London.
I wonder if we are related. Please find herewith a short biography of
yours truly. Tell me about yourself; send me a photo of yourself. Let me
know if you think we are related, and what the branch of the family is from
which you have descended. The Londons, as you know, are a very large family.
In fact, there are two great London families. One is a Jewish family
which came to England from Austria about 200 years ago, and changed its
name to London. I am not a member of this family. I am a member of the
English family of Londons, hundreds of whom now reside in the City of London
and are in the City of London Directory, while hundreds of their emigrant
descendents are living in various parts of the U.S., from the Ear West to
the Ear South and on up to Old New England. Pleast tell me all about
yourself.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Kings
Answering your letter &r April 2, 1963, I will be anxious to
see the reply o* Mr* Bitter.
I will plan te be in Logan on the 9th. of Kay se I will be
there en the tenth. Would you like me to bring some of Jacks
first editions that he Autographed to my mother to be put on
display?
I think it would be a wonderful idea to have a Jack London room
in the new library and I would be willing to give some of the
origional material that I have here to the library room.
As to Charmian's autographed books 1 think it would be a ^ine
place for them if we can agree about a price. We can talk about
it when I come up in May.

I wish you were here. I'll come down to you if you say. Ay and
I'll cut out the Jinks if you say so. Let me know.
I figured on writing a letter that would not lay me open to criminal
or civil libel nor to contempt of court. I think I succeeded, but there is
no telling. Samuels, a sheeny shoe peddler! Bah! My blood boils. I can
make him sick that he ever locked horns with me.
As long as you have me, and deem me worth while, you have no license
to be blue.

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.]]> London, Jack, 1876-1916;]]> Digitized by : Utah State University, Merrill-Cazier Library]]> http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206]]> image/jpeg;]]> 1478570 Bytes]]> eng;]]> Text;]]> http://digital.lib.usu.edu/cdm/ref/collection/jacklondon/id/584]]> Glen Ellen (Calif.); Sonoma County (Calif.); California; United States;]]> London, Jack, 1876-1916--Correspondence; Authors, American--20th century--Correspondence; London, Joan, 1901-1971--Correspondence;]]> 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,
