Letter from Charles F. Lummis of the Southwest Society to Jack London, dated March 22, 1905
CTaken from carbon of original letter, at the Southwest Museum, Los Angeles] Mch. 22nd [1905] Dear Mr. London: I have your pleasant note, and beg to say in reply that the Southwest Society takes no time except for those who have to carry the heavy routine, which they are gladly doing without compensation, for the sake of American scholarship and with particular reference to California. We can hardly compare the relative importance of causes; but the work of the Southwest Society has this peculiarity: unless the work is done right away it never can be done. All these things which we are trying to save, as an intelligent community should, are disappearing rapidly, and will be out of our reach for ever unless very promptly seized. Your socialist revolution, on the other hand, depends on neither time nor individuals. Whatever is right in this movement is coming in time. So it is not asking you to serve two masters, but to give your countenance and your dues to another cause which we believe merits the support of every thoughtful citizen. Hastily but Sincerely yours, (signed) Charles F. Lummis

GENERAL STEEL PRODUCTS CO. MANUFACTURERS OF MONAD STEEL SASH 431 S DEARBORN ST. CHICAGO. April 9, 1914. LIr. Jack London, Glen Ellen, Calif. Dear Sir: Your letter by Mrs. London, received this morning and was indeed surprised that you did not receive the former manuscript, sent you some time ago. However, I am sending you today, by parcel post, another copy of the play and trust you will examine it at your earliest convenience. You will note that I have placed a romance in the plot that does not exist in the book. I did this, owing to the fact that last year, while in Hew York, I had Elizabeth Karbury, the play broker examine the play and she informed me -very frankly- that unless there ?/as a romance injected that would continue through the entire play, it would be impossible to get a producer. She also stated th&t the plot does not contain a strong plausible reason for Smoke going to Alaska. I later corrected it and submitted it to the Frohman Company and the manuscript was held for about six weeks and then returned with the comment that they were not in the market for any dramatizations. After coming to Chioago, I submitted it to Kr. Davis, manager of the Illinois Theatre. He is favorably impressed, but of course, is powerless to produce it. I feel if it looks good to you, in the shape it stands, we will have no trouble to get a producer. However, I want you to be perfectly frank with me. Thanking you for your past co-operation, and assuring you of my intention of trying until I got an acceptable dramatization, I am Yours very \^^7j 9 V3% — 409 E. 40th St. Chicago - If ft si o r*&

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

juTj 2BOTC3 AXJ ^uB November 10, 1916 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, Sonomz, Co.
