A lovelorn Jack London rhapsodizes about a cap Charmian has sent him: “My own joy-giver – I went to bed last night with your night-cap. It arrived in the midst of a game of chess which I was too blue & dull to play properly. But having taken your night-cap, I returned to the game and wiped my opponent off the board. My dear Doctor, I can heartily recommend your nightcap to all sufferers as a sure tonic and specific for melancholy and nervous disorders…” Charmian has made a notation at the top of the letter, “Red Letter letter!”
