LONDON Jack (1876-1916)
Autograph letter (minute ?) and signed autograph piece (minute) to [Joseph NOEL]
Oakland, California, December 17, 1913| 14 pages in-8 in pencil, 2 pages in-4, and 2 lines on one oblong page in-12 in brown ink on paper| in English.
Regarding the dramatic adaptation of his novel The Sea Wolf, London ironically protests against the adapter
Joseph Noel, and the investors Ben Stern and George Pelton, who defrauded him of his copyright.
"By God, poor NOEL is indeed the saddest and most abject individual who ever stole his friends along the way, and yet, alas, out of friendship, London has acted stupidly, giving rope and cord to one Joseph J. Noel, a so-called friend who has kept him going for years, at the cost of thousands of dollars.... Joseph came to the land of Egypt and, like his namesake, got the most out of this Egyptian. London thought Joseph was a playwright. Joseph now says that he took advantage of friends who fed him, namely Pelton, Stern and London, to show London that he could get, after a dozen years of lies, a week-long performance of the Sea Wolf to extinguish his debt to the said Pelton, arrangement between him and Pelton undisclosed at the time Joseph betrayed Pelton and London, but late, long after London bled to pay 3835 to Pelton's authors, and make Stern an investor, while Noel signed contracts with Stern that he had no right to sign... Poor Stern. By God, Noel agrees! Poor Noel! And every step of the way, playing the game of his bizarre exploitation of friendship, as he took their dollars, and by the way taught them how friendship could be turned into deception, Noel behind the table. Good God,
Noel missed his calling: he should never have tried to swindle his pigeons from friends who invariably soaked in his tears and nodded in agreement| he should have climbed up on the boards... He, who can delude himself, could have deluded any audience to the tune of a thousand dollars for every dollar he took from his pigeons o
