MY DEAR STERLING,
I have Jack London's books -- the one from you and the one from him. I thank you and shall find the time to read them. I've been back but a few days and find a brace of dozen of books "intitualed" "Shapes of Clay." That the splendid work done by Scheff and Wood and your other associates in your labor of love is most gratifying to me should "go without saying." Surely "I" am most fortunate in having so good friends to care for my interests. Still, there will be an aching void in the heart of me until "your" book is in evidence. Honest, I feel more satisfaction in the work of you and Scheff than in my own. It is through you two that I expect my best fame. And how generously you accord it! -- unlike certain others of my "pupils," whom I have assisted far more than I did you.
