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 to Jack London, dated March 22, 1905
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

In my story; one of the Joralemon sort, perhaps, a tramp is kicked off a flat car in the less populated part of the northern Minnesoat. Ugly brakeman and he'd sassed him. But sympathy with hobo's pluck and eagerness. Well, there's no shelter discernible; no light even; its growing dark, and cold with Minnesota colness. Man tears up part --- reserving part to read -- of a newspaper; carelessly collects a few twigs etc. and, being quite used to roughing it, decides to make the best of it a in a deserted n cowshed with the aid of some rotting old gunny sacks or something of the kind. Then, reaching into his pocket for a match, he finds that he has only one! Then the story; the growing fear with which he collects fuel; in order to make sure that this one match will go. He developes cold feet and each time shrikns back in fear from quite risking so much as to kindle the last match. Fonally cdrowsy with the cold, he rests for a minute --- and gets up only to settle down --- and freeze to death.
