1904. Fine. 15 août 1904, 23,5x15,3cm, 4 pages sur 4 feuillets. - Lettre autographe inédite de Jack London adressée à sa future femme Charmian Kittredge. 4 pages sur 4 feuillets rédigées à l'encre noire. Ratures de la main de London et précisions au crayon de papier d'une autre main sur les noms propres cités dans la lettre. Date ""Aug 15 1904"" tamponnée en haut à droite de la première page. Pliures transversales inhérentes à la mise sous pli des feuillets. Trous d'épingle, petites déchirures marginales sans gravité. Belle lettre de Jack London adressée à l'amour de sa vie Charmian Kittredge quelques jours après que sa femme Bessie a demandé le divorce. London est déjà un auteur reconnu après le grand succès de l'Appel de la forêt (1904) et il évoque justement dans cette lettre la réception de ses œuvres en Angleterre : « Books in England have been published out of regular order - so reviewers think ""Daughter of Snows"" last written. » (« Les livres n'ont pas été publiés en Angleterre dans le bon ordre - donc les critiques pensent que « Fille des neiges » a été écrit en dernier. ») Les amoureux se rencontrent en 1900 mais ne démarreront véritablement leur relation qu'à l'été 1903. Cette missive témoigne de l'attirance physique de London pour Charmian - de cinq ans son aînée - après avoir délaissé sa femme qui ne l'attirait pas : « George [Sterling] has just left - showed him you stepping on raft in swimming pool and he said you were all there and all the rest. Gee ! I'll prize that picture. I've the sweet limbed woman on horseback and now I've the sweet limbs, too. » (« George [Sterling] vient de partir - lui ai montré la photo de toi mettant pied sur radeau dans piscine et il a dit que tu étais bien ""roulée"" et ainsi de suite. Wouah ! Cette photo, je la garde près de mon cœur. J'ai la femme aux jolies jambes montée sur un cheval, et maintenant j'ai les jolies jambes en plus. » [c'est-à-dire la photo des jambes nues]) L'écrivain relate un moment d'allégresse avec ses amis : « Had quite a time yesterday. Carrie [Sterling], Mrs. [Jim] Whitaker, Laura [Bierce] and a few more were good and sick and Dick [Partington] who never gets seasick, got sick when we came to moorings and he undertook the most perilous detail of the cleaning up process. Oh, yes, it was ""swell"". » (« Me suis bien amusé hier. Carrie [Sterling], Mme [Jim] Whitaker, Laura [Bierce] et quelques autres ont dégobillé un bon coup, et Dick [Partington] qui ne souffre jamais du mal de mer s'est senti mal au moment d'amarrer et c'est lui qui s'est chargé à ses risques et périls de tout nettoyer à fond. Eh oui, ça a été [« swell » = la houle + « super », « chouette ». Intraduisible donc en français...] ») Ces fidèles de Jack London ont justement essayé d'évincer Charmian qu'ils appréciaient peu, au profit de Blanche Partington, éminente journaliste de San Francisco, en vain : « Blanche, George Sterling et la coterie du Clan avaient tout essayé pour arracher Jack à Charmian, qui leur avait toujours déplu. Ils redoutaient, à juste titre, qu'elle ne réussît à leur enlever l'une de leurs idoles. Mais leur conjuration n'avait servi qu'à rapprocher Jack de la femme qu'il avait choisie, en réveillant ses instincts de loyauté et de galanterie. Comme Charmian le remarquera triomphalement : « Le Clan, en essayant de nous séparer, nous a réunis de sorte que rien hormis la mort ne peut nous désunir. Nous nous découvrons chaque jour et chaque nuit davantage. » La lettre s'achève d'ailleurs sur une charmante note d'impatience : « To-morrow night, dear, to-morrow night. » (« Demain soir, ma chère, demain soir. ») Le couple finira par se marier en novembre 1905 et demeurera inséparable jusqu'à la mort de Jack London. Précieuse et rare lettre d'amour de Jack London. [ENGLISH TRANSLATION FOLLOWS] Autograph love letter from Jack London to his future wife Charmian Kittredge 15 août 1904 | 23.5 x 15.3 cm | 4 pages on 4 leaves Autograph letter from Jack London to his future wife Charmian Kittredge. 4 pages on 4 leaves written in black ink. Censored by London's hand and corrections by another hand in pencil to the proper names cited in the letter. The date 'Aug 15 1904' stamped to top right of first page. Lateral folds from the folding of the leaves. Pinholes, light, minor marginal tears. A fine letter from Jack London to the love of his life, Charmian Kittredge, a few days after his wife Bessie had asked for a divorce. London was already a successful author after the great success of The Call of the Wild (1904) and he mentions in this letter the reception of his works in England:""Books in England have been published out of regular order - so reviewers think 'Daughter of Snows' last written."" The two lovers met in 1900 but did not really begin their relationship until the summer of 1903. This letter bears witness to the physical attraction London had for Charmian - five years his senior - having left his wife, who did not attract him:""George [Sterling] has just left - showed him you stepping on raft in swimming pool and he said you were all there and all the rest. Gee ! I'll prize that picture. I've the sweet limbed woman on horseback and now I've the sweet limbs, too."" The writer relates a moment of levity with his friends:""Had quite a time yesterday. Carrie [Sterling], Mrs. [Jim] Whitaker, Laura [Bierce] and a few more were good and sick and Dick [Partington] who never gets seasick, got sick when we came to moorings and he undertook the most perilous detail of the cleaning up process. Oh, yes, it was 'swell'."" These close friends of London's tried to oust Charmian, whom they did not like, in favour of Blanche Partington, a successful journalist in San Francisco, but in vain: ""Blanche, George Sterling and the whole Clan had all tried tearing Jack away from Charmian, whom they had never liked. They feared, and rightly so, that she might take away one of their idols. But their conspiracy only served to bring Jack closer to the woman he had chosen, in bringing out his instincts of loyalty and gallantry. As Charmian remarked triumphantly: ""the Clan, in trying to break us up, had united us in a way that nothing but death could part. We live each day and each night the more fully."" The letter ends on a charming note of impatience:""To-morrow night, dear, to-morrow night."" The couple ended up marrying in November 1905 and remained inseparable until London's death. A fine and rare love letter from London.

Palahniuk returns signed books and informs his correspondent that in the furure the "address in Vacouver, Washington will be unreliable. I'm seldom there." He recommends St Helen's Bookstore for future signed books. "It's a small one-room bookstore and I stop there once a month... It's good to support small, independent bookstores." Palahniuk adds that he is glad to return the books. "It would bum-me-out to think they'd sat in the 'dead-letter' office, or -- like a ton of my mail -- got left in the rain... You wouldn't guess the sad, wet mountain of mail that gets hauled away from my old house in Portland." He ends with "I'll shut up now." Signed in ink. Fine condition.. Signed by Author. Unbound. Fine. Typed Letter Signed.
