Jack London wrote this letter to "Comrade Long" in January 1915 from his home in Glen Ellen, California. In it he expresses regret that he "cannot join in the adventure" with Long and that he must travel to San Francisco to deal with a pressing matter. London also talks about his book The iron heel and complains about his "capitalist book buyers" and "capitalist publishers." He further states that he signed a new contract for several years but that it "stipulates that it must be acceptable fiction - - - of course, that means acceptable capitalistic fiction." The letter ends "Yours for the Revolution, Jack London."
