Single half sheet; 6x8; 10 typed lines; Jack London's Glen Ellen return address at upper left. In original mailing envelope

"Dear Mr. Reinhard:- In reply to yours of September 14, 1914: My wife and I are just rushing away to catch train that will take us to connect up with our yacht the 'Roamer' on which we are about to start out on our winter cruise and hence the brevity of this reply for which I ask your forgiveness. I appreciate more good words such as you have sent me than all the good words in the world that may be printed about my work by the critics. Please forgive me for having this letter signed by rubber stamp, I shall be away on the boat before it is typed. Sincerely yours, Jack London." The London's winter cruise on San Francisco Bay began on September 23 and continued through to December 7.
