Typescript (carbon) with some corrections in Jack London's hand. 25 pages plus title, on rectos of full sheets of typing paper.



A short play written for the ex-heavyweight champion of the world Robert James "Bob" Fitzsimmons and his wife to use in a vaudeville skit. It was collected in The Human Drift, published in 1917. Bob Fitzsimmons, British born and raised in New Zealand, made boxing history as the sport's first three-division world champion. A note by Russ Kingman accompanying the script notes that "This is guaranteed to be the original file copy of Jack London. Endorsed on back of document...," and Kingman has penciled that on the back of the last page.
