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.

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

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

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.

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>.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

L!r. Jack London,
Glen Elen, Cal.,
Ky dear Mr. London:-
You no doubt think by this time
that I am dead but you see I am not. Have
just finished re-dramatizing "Smoke Bellew".
Will send you a copy as soon as the typist
and blue-printers are through with it.
I feel that I have a good one now
and trust that you are also favorably impressed.
I am back in old Chicago and think
that I will make this my perminent address.
You know that I have confidence in
Smoke BoHew and I feel that although I may
not be a "Shaw" just now that continual effort
is the only thing that will make me a success
as a play-writter.
Very truly yours,
EPLS
3921 Grand Blvd.,
Chicago, Illinois.

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.

Now you, su ely know better than that. You know that it requires n groat

are entirely out of lee nnd used by tie miners <'or boating mid fishing and in

moves. The Yukon itself l« being navigated annual!" for nearly a month before
the mouth thereof breaks sufficiently so to XKXK7.73MXXX permit the river
Steamers from St, I'ieheals to go up the river.

River Steamers laden with fresh supplies, especially fruits,vegetables and

J~y dear Mr, London:
It seems e» unfair
that some business brain should be able
to tie up an artist like yourself to
the extent of preventing you from publishing stories where you want. We
over here are young enough to rebel at
this sort of thing. Of course it won't
make any difference but we do want you '
to know that it is the way we feel.
Thank you just the
sare for your friendly letter, I should
like to know what you think of our magazine after you have seen a few copies.
And in case you can break the will of the
business brain I spoke of, you will send
us some of your work, won't you?
Yours very truly,
Mr, Jack London, ",x" >-v~*-\ ^
Glen Ellen,

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.

PRESS BUILDING, CLEVELAND
November 30, 1914.
If. Jack London
Glen Ellen, California.
Dear Sir:
I understand from your publishers—The MacMillan
Company—that the serial rights to your book THE
MUTINTOF THE ELSINOR, are held by yourself.
I should like very much to get a release on this
story for the Scnpps-McRae League papers, a list
of which I append to this letter.
In using the story it would be run as one of our
novels-a-week and would therefore have to be cut
to about 20.000 words. For this privilege I would
be willing to pay $200.00. Of course we advertise
each story widely before publication.
Hoping to hear from you favorably, and at your
earliest convenience, I am,
Vejy truly

Letter from Charles F. Lummis of the Southwest Society to Jack London, dated April 6, 1905
[Taken from carbon of original letter, at the Southwest Museum, Los Angeles)
Apr. 6th cl905]
Dear Mr. London:
We can get capitalists to contribute to this work and we are
getting them. Still I would a great deal sooner have people like you.
However, if you want to be stubborn I guess I shall have to let you. I
always wonder that people don't follow my example and be pliable.
Power to your elbow anyhow for it is only a question of time
when we shall have you with us.
As soon as you really realize what this movement means you
will come in without being forced it is one of the things that all
creeds, parties and previous conditions of servitude can agree on
just as soon as they grasp its full significance.
Sincerely yours,
(signed) Charles F, Lummis

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.

any way our contract with ycu for your short story output for
1913. As you appreciate from the tremendous amount cf advertising we gave your first story, we have made all arrangements
to continue boosting and celebrating you for the next tv/elve

mutual agreement.
With best Christmas and pew year withes, and hoping

Letter to Jack London from The Star Monthly, undated.
THE STAR MONT1ILY.
Out Park, III.,
The Editor, regret that the manuscript which
you had the goodness to submit to them does not seem,
after careful reading, to be quite available for use in
Thk Stab Monthly.
In determining the availability of manuscript
many other questions besides literary quality have to
be considered. Consequently, adverse editorial decisions are not necessarily based upon the intrinsic merit
of the material. Manuscript unauited to the immediate
use of one periodical may frequently come within the
policy of another. Moreover, if the space at Its command were larger, this magazine would gladly accept
many articles, stories and poems, which now it is
obliged to decline for lack of room.
The Editors esteem it a favor that the present
manuscript has been submitted to them, and wish to
assure you that it has received a thorough and impartial
consideration. In view of the quantity of manuscript
demanding attention tbey beg that the absence of criticism or of special reasons for unavailability be kindly
Very respectfully yours,
THE EDITORS.

Mr. Jack London,
Glen Ellen,
Sonoma Cc., Cal.
Dear Mr. Lcndonj
1 was glad to have your letter of the 19th., because of its good disposition and character. 1 appreciate
it—appreciate your rrotive in having Paul Reynolds send over
the two manuscripts, Samuel and Told, in the T)reoling Ward.
Frankly, as ycu anticipated, 1 am afraid that our
■readers would find it a bit of an effort to get the most out
of the Island McGlll dialect, excellently as it Is done. But
for this feature of the story, we would have no hesitancy in
taking it. Our feeling, however, Is that this Is not quits
the medium for that particular story.
Six we~ks or two months h'^nce you ere going to need
a change of thought or a bit of relief in case you are working
on a. novel, and you are going to decide that the best way to
•refresh or relieve yourself is to write a i;hort story. Then
you are going to do a bully good one and send it to us or 1
toiss my guess.
Until then, believe n-e, with best regards to both
yourself and J.Vrs. London,
