I haven't drinked a bottle of beer since I have been in the States, the whiskey tastes too good. I'm sorry I didn't get to see you in Frisco but they rushed us through pretty fast and I didn't get up town but two nights but I really had a good time. Those Frisco dames are really nice. Got a card from Crayton he is getting a divorce. They are keeping me so busy here running around meeting everybody till I hardly have time to turn around. If you get time run down here will you? I'm pretty sure you will have a good time. My folks heard from your Grandparents and they were very glad to hear from them. Tell them that everybody said "Hello." Everybody here is in good health and feeling fine. If you can't come down right away let me know how you are doing. Take it easy partner. Your Pal Jack D. Jack Bradley Raiford Fla. M/Sgt. Smith L.

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
