[Piedmont?]: July 24/’03 Very early love letter from Jack London to his future wife Charmian Kittredge, written just as Jack was moving out from Bessie and his bungalow. Jack is overwhelmed by his emotions: “Dear Love whom I love so, if I could only write you the love song that is singing in my heart! But I am in chaos, in chaos. But how(?) we come, like the light God said let there be, through all the chaos, to each other. But we shall sing the love-song put together and it will take from here(?) to the grave to sing it out dear love...” The letter is unsigned, as were all Jack’s early love letters to Charmian, in an effort to maintain the secrecy of their relationship. The date of July 24, 1903, is in pencil at the top, in Charmian’s hand. Old folds, small paperclip mark in top margin, near fine. (3000/5000)

Jack is cruising aboard the “Spray,” touching down in Oakland every so often. Reference is made to Anna Strunsky, with whom Jack was thought by some to be having an affair, rather than with Charmian. “... Thursday, say at 7:30 at South gate - anyway the regular old place... Saturday for swim in ‘Frisco by all means. Let me know particulars. Paste afterwards by all means - say at Jack’s... I am sending you Anna’s letter - and in sending it to you, I feel that I am not acting in treachery to her, but, rather, that you have a right to see it. Not because you love me & Lot 348 I love you - not for this reason of itself, but because of the circumstances that connected Anna & me in the past, and because of your own utter generousness in your dealings with me. I so want you to feel at ease - not that I may wish to be everything to you & only to you; but to feel at ease that I shall succeed in being everything to you and only to you... It is because I shall have to see Anna when she gets back that I tell you this. Women always fear women more than men. And I want you to fear her not at all, or to have a faith in me greater than your fear of her... I confess, were the circumstances reversed, I, in turn, would feel fear, & it would be no small fear either...” The letter is unsigned, in an effort to maintain the secrecy of their relationship.

But the work has been good for me. It is a study. I am learning more of how to handle the tools of my craft, and of what I may do of them... Played cards all day Sunday & evening - hearts & pedro at Dungee’s, poker in the evening...” The letter is unsigned, in an effort to maintain the secrecy of their relationship. A few tears that are neatly repaired on verso, old folds; very good. (2000/3000)

Gee! I’ll prize that picture - I’ve the sweet-limbed woman on horseback, & now I’ve got the sweet limbs, too. Had quite a time yesterday. Carrie [Sterling], Mrs. Whittaker, Laura [Bierce], and a few others were good and sick - and Dick [Partington], who never gets seasick, got sick when we came to moorings & he undertook the perilous detail of the cleaning up process...” Later, “Books in England have been published out of regular order, so reviewers think ‘Daughter of Snows’ last written. To-morrow night, dear, To-morrow night.” The letter is unsigned, in an effort to maintain the secrecy of their relationship. The last names of a few of the people referred to are penciled in, by Charmian at a later date. Old folds, else very good. (3000/5000)
