Description

London relays a letter and photo during a particularly busy period—"working every moment in order to wind up my work"

Two items: a TLS, one page, 7.5 x 3.75, September 7, 1905, addressed to Mrs. Wishaar, in full: "Please find herewith photograph requested, and please pardon this brief note, be[fore] I am rushed to death these days, working every moment in order to wind up my work before [I] go East. With regards to your sons and daughters, and best wishes to yourself, please believe me"; and a vintage semi-glossy 4 x 7.5 lightweight photo of London in a handsome full-length pose, signed below in fountain pen, "Cordially yours, Jack London." In overall very good condition, with staining and restored paper loss to the letter; the photo has paper loss to the edges (nipping the "J" in "Jack"), small edge tears, and a heavy horizontal crease passing through London's knees.
